Dear worried lybrate-user, diabetes isn't contagious at all. So don't hesitate in becoming intimate with your husband who'll be well controlled in a short time. Just see to that he hasn't got infection on penis which very common when sugar is high. It is called balanopostheitis. Ignore the name! make him exercise, give him moral support and educate yourself by accompanying him to doctor and clearing your doubts. Regards.
