This research aims to understand if sexual activity affects the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who use insulin therapy and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Sexual health is important but often overlooked in diabetes care, and fear of hypoglycemia during or after sexual activity may reduce quality of life. The study addresses this gap using new remote monitoring technology to study glucose changes related to sexual activity. Participants will use CGM systems like LibreView or Dexcom Clarity to track glucose levels during and up to 6 hours after sexual activity, which they mark in their CGM app using a neutral symbol. The study is observational with no assigned treatments; participants continue their usual insulin therapy and self-management. Each person will be observed for 3 months, comparing glucose data from sexual activity days to days without sexual activity. During the study, researchers will collect glucose data remotely and receive basic clinical information from healthcare providers. They will analyze the proportion of sexual activity episodes linked to hypoglycemia and compare frequency and mean glucose levels on days with and without sexual activity. Participants' data are anonymized and securely handled. The study hopes to help reduce patient fears and guide future recommendations for safe sexual activity with insulin therapy.

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - 3 months
Participants continue their usual insulin therapy and self-management while using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). They mark sexual activity episodes in their CGM application for observational purposes.
Participants use their CGM device daily and mark sexual activity episodes as they occur
