Mondays with Mary – Women & Diabetes
Posted on January 26, 2026

- High blood sugars can lead to more yeast and bladder infections.
- Diabetes may lower sexual desire or enjoyment.
- If you’re planning a pregnancy, elevated blood sugars can increase risks for you and your baby — though many women with diabetes have healthy pregnancies with the right care.
All of this highlights why keeping blood sugars in a healthy range matters. Small steps add up, and your health is worth it.
