Rather embarrassing to be asking but my husband and I are rather concerned. He has diabetes and takes a shot before each meal and a 24 hr shot at bedtime. When we have oral sex.. if I swallow, is there enough traces of insulin in his sperm to cause me any harm?

HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .
First of all there is nothing to be embarrassed , your query is a genuine one .
Insulin after injection is metabolised in the liver and very little quantity is excreted in urine . But Insulin will not be present in his semen or sperm . Or there is no need to be concerned .
Hope this answers your query .
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Regards.
Dear madam I can understand your concern his seminal fluid will not contain any trace of insulin and you may not get diabetes due to oral sex. the oral sex is having two sides both good and bad. this oral sex helps in build good sexual pleasure in some if you see the ill effects 1.on male organ penis there will be some viruse called human papilloma virus which has been associated with oral cancer 2.there is a chance of infection spread by oral sex as the perineal region contains many bacteria like E. coli which are harmful for mouth. now it's your decision to pick which is good for you. regards Dr Vamsi Diabetologist
