diabetes, male fertilityAbstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the greatest threats to public health in modern societies. Although for several years it was suggested that DM had no significant effect on male reproductive function, this view was changing. The increasing incidence of DM worldwide will affect more and more men and younger people, and therefore could affect their reproductive potential.
