Sexual changes are common too \u2014 for example, hormonal changes, reduced blood flow to your genitals and fluctuating blood glucose levels can all get in the way of feeling like sex.<\/p>\n<p>Many people find talking about sex and attraction uncomfortable. Acknowledging that it can be awkward and hard to talk about can make the conversations easier.<\/p>\n<p>But by helping your partner understand how diabetes is affecting your sexual feelings and desires, you can bring a new level of intimacy to your relationship. So talk about it, experiment, discover new ways to connect emotionally.\u00a0For more on the physical and practical side of sexual health, you may like to visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndss.com.au\/living-with-diabetes\/everyday-life-with-diabetes\/sexual-health\/\">sexual health page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>                                              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"accordion animate  card-has-background-colour has-light-green-tint-background-color\">\n            <div class=\"accordion__header\">\n                              <h4 class=\"h4 accordion__title\">Diabetes and loneliness<\/h4>\n                            <div class=\"accordion__control plus\">\n                <span class=\"line line-1\"><\/span>\n                <span class=\"line line-2\"><\/span>\n              <\/div>  \n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion__content\">\n              <div class=\"accordion__content-inner animate\">\n                                  <div class=\"romeo-content the-content text-medium\"><p>Human beings are social creatures who thrive best when we feel connected and supported. Yet sometimes, diabetes can feel like a very lonely and personal battle. This isolation and loneliness can have real physical impacts on your wellbeing so it\u2019s important to tend to the emotional bonds that matter to you.<\/p>\n<p>After a life event, like being diagnosed, you might need to explore some new connections or tend to some old ones. Making an active effort to connect with others is even more important if we retire, move communities, or change our lifestyles and some of our connections drop away. Everyone will experience periods of loneliness or disconnection.<\/p>\n<p>The antidote to this is authentic connection with other people. Building your own community of people who understand and \u2018get\u2019 you. Plan regular family get-togethers. Join a club. Become a volunteer. Keep in touch with old friends and workmates. Connect with others at your local diabetes support group.<\/p>\n<p>People with strong social networks are not only happier, but they also live healthier lives too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top tips from the diabetes community<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cInvest in your family\u201d &#8211; Katie<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Your family or friendships are important to ageing well.

Many people find their priorities and relationships changing \u2013 parenting teenage children, caring for ageing parents and navigating our relationships with ourselves as our bodies change and age. Managing your diabetes can add another challenge to the mix, and if it changes, our relationships can too.<\/p>\n<p>When you have diabetes, it can also be easy for you and your partner to get caught up in the roles of \u2018patient\u2019 and \u2018carer\u2019. This not only changes the dynamics of your relationship, it can make you feel uncomfortable too. Communication is the key, and keeping the conversation open about how and what you feel. Discuss your fears, worries and concerns with each other. Talk with your partner about how they are feeling too, and make sure they feel comfortable with the lifestyle changes you are navigating together.<\/p>\n<\/div>                                              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"in-page-section\" id=\"in-page-section-6c4a3\" data-menu=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"in-page-section-header\">\n                            <div class=\"icon-wrapper\">\n                    <svg width=\"80\" height=\"80\" viewBox=\"0 0 80 80\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M56.2061 32.4497C56.2061 41.5333 46.7395 48.8971 35.0618 48.8971C31.9919 48.8971 29.0703 48.3881 26.4342 47.4717C23.2824 54.4593 10 52.5204 10 52.5204C10 52.5204 19.1323 48.5629 18.2359 42.4142C15.5223 39.6519 13.9132 36.1947 13.9132 32.4475C13.9132 23.3638 23.3842 16 35.0641 16C46.744 16 56.2083 23.3661 56.2083 32.4475L56.2061 32.4497Z\" stroke=\"#02314B\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><path d=\"M34.7227 54.2158C37.164 59.032 43.1998 62.4406 50.2582 62.4406C52.6818 62.4406 54.9882 62.0378 57.0687 61.3162C59.5565 66.8319 70.0434 65.3025 70.0434 65.3025C70.0434 65.3025 62.8345 62.1772 63.5428 57.3233C65.6853 55.141 66.9558 52.4119 66.9558 49.4548C66.9558 45.234 64.3662 41.4845 60.3556 39.1118\" stroke=\"#69B3E7\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><path d=\"M45.9688 52.0576L49.4946 55.2781L56.6261 46.5508\" stroke=\"#69B3E7\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><path d=\"M31.5821 27.7243C31.5821 27.8925 31.5489 28.0474 31.4847 28.1935C31.4205 28.3374 31.3342 28.4658 31.2279 28.5764C31.1217 28.6871 30.9955 28.7734 30.8517 28.8332C30.7078 28.8951 30.5506 28.9239 30.3824 28.9239C30.0393 28.9239 29.756 28.8088 29.5303 28.5809C29.3067 28.3529 29.1938 28.0674 29.1938 27.7243C29.1938 26.9629 29.3399 26.248 29.6343 25.5773C29.9265 24.9067 30.3249 24.3201 30.8273 23.8177C31.3297 23.3153 31.9163 22.9191 32.5869 22.6291C33.2576 22.3392 33.9681 22.1953 34.7228 22.1953C35.4776 22.1953 36.1881 22.3436 36.8587 22.6402C37.5294 22.9368 38.1159 23.3374 38.6183 23.8398C39.1208 24.3423 39.5192 24.9288 39.8113 25.5995C40.1035 26.2701 40.2518 26.9784 40.2518 27.7243C40.2518 29.2316 39.7073 30.5419 38.6183 31.653L36.8255 33.3086C36.2168 33.9173 35.9114 34.5835 35.9114 35.3072C35.9114 35.6503 35.7985 35.9336 35.575 36.1572C35.3492 36.3829 35.0659 36.4936 34.7228 36.4936C34.3798 36.4936 34.0942 36.3807 33.8662 36.1572C33.6383 35.9336 33.5232 35.6481 33.5232 35.3072C33.5232 33.9372 34.0677 32.7065 35.1566 31.6176L36.9495 29.9509C37.5581 29.3179 37.8636 28.5764 37.8636 27.7243C37.8636 27.2971 37.7795 26.8943 37.6113 26.5136C37.443 26.1329 37.2173 25.7987 36.9318 25.5131C36.6462 25.2276 36.312 25.0019 35.9313 24.8336C35.5506 24.6654 35.1478 24.5835 34.7206 24.5835C34.2934 24.5835 33.8795 24.6654 33.4988 24.8292C33.1181 24.993 32.7839 25.2165 32.4984 25.4976C32.2129 25.7787 31.9871 26.1107 31.8233 26.4914C31.6595 26.8721 31.5776 27.2838 31.5776 27.7243H31.5821Z\" fill=\"#02314B\"\/><path d=\"M36.3454 39.9884C36.3454 40.4377 36.1882 40.8206 35.8717 41.1371C35.5552 41.4536 35.1723 41.6108 34.723 41.6108C34.2737 41.6108 33.8908 41.4536 33.5742 41.1371C33.2577 40.8206 33.1006 40.4377 33.1006 39.9884C33.1006 39.539 33.2577 39.1561 33.5742 38.8396C33.8908 38.5231 34.2737 38.366 34.723 38.366C35.1723 38.366 35.5552 38.5231 35.8717 38.8396C36.1882 39.1561 36.3454 39.539 36.3454 39.9884Z\" fill=\"#02314B\"\/><\/svg>                <\/div>\n                                        <h3 class=\"h3 title animate\">When to get support<\/h3>\n                                        <div class=\"romeo-content the-content text-medium animate\"><p>If you are dealing with relationship or sexual health issues, or are facing a relationship crisis, there are a range of support services available to you.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link-ndss-green\" href=\"https:\/\/www.headtohealth.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Head to Health<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:1800595212\">1800 595 212<\/a>) is a free service which can also help you navigate your options and find which local services and supports might be right for you.
