Can a male with diabetes still produce as much sperm as a male with out? I ask because what if I wanted to have a child with somone who is, is his likelyhood higher or lower. We are in our 30's does this play a role in reproduction for a diabetic male, also would the child be more suceptable to developing the diesease? Doe it skip a generation or is that an old wives tale?

It could be an old wife's tail...

But seriously, take my wife..... please.

For fertility, have him eat vitamin E 400 or 1000IU daily. He'll be like a frosty machine.

The child of a diabetic parent will have an increased risk of developing diabetes. Children who have grandparents or other family members with diabetes are also at risk of developing the disease. A positive family history for the disease leaves the individual at higher risk for developing it.

In my family's experience, diabetes did not "skip" a generation; it occurred in EVERY generation. Old wives tale? Probably...

There is always a possibility for someone to have the disease... especially if there is a genetic link to it. NOBODY in my family had diabetes before ME... I was the first :( you never know....
