Sex is Safe in Type 1 Diabetes, New Study Using Glucose Monitors Shows
Diabetes
Summary

New research presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes annual meeting demonstrates that sexual intercourse is safe for people with type 1 diabetes when using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. The study, led by Dr. Dominica Orłowska from the Medical University of Warsaw, provides reassurance to patients concerned about how sexual activity affects their blood sugar levels. CGM technology allows real-time tracking of glucose fluctuations during physical activity, helping individuals better understand and manage their diabetes. This finding is significant as it addresses a common concern among type 1 diabetes patients and promotes sexual health and quality of life.

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NX) is a rare granulomatous skin condition characterized by the formation of yellowish nodules and plaques, often associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes and paraproteinemia. This clinical-pathological review, authored by dermatology experts from Puerto Rico's leading medical institutions, examines the diagnostic criteria, histopathological features, and clinical presentations of NX. The condition requires careful differential diagnosis from other granulomatous diseases and xanthomatous lesions. Understanding NX is essential for dermatologists and primary care physicians to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of affected patients.
