Sexual Dysfunction in Women with Type 2 Diabetes

Many women with type 2 diabetes report symptoms of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). Although sexual dysfunction is a well-established complication of type 2 diabetes in men, it has not been well-studied in women with diabetes. Information on the prevalence and etiology of FSD in diabetes is increasing but still sparse. Because few studies have examined FSD in type 2 diabetes exclusively, in this chapter we review available literature in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
