My Diabetic Slut Journey So Far

Living with type 1 diabetes often means a constant balancing act. Between insulin, food, stress, and activity. For years, I struggled with keeping my A1C under control, no matter how carefully I tried to manage things. But something surprising changed my health for the better when I entered a new chapter of my life: discovering intimacy and a consistent sex life with my partner.

What I found was more than just emotional closeness. Regular sexual activity turned out to be a powerful form of exercise and stress relief, two of the biggest factors in blood sugar management. Having sex anywhere from three to six times a day, with short breaks here and there, provided a steady boost to my cardiovascular system, helped my body use insulin more effectively, and kept my glucose readings in a healthier range. Over time, my A1C dropped dramatically, from a dangerously high 14 down to 6. The difference was life changing.

In addition to sex, I also began exotic pole dancing, which added another layer of strength training, cardio, and body confidence into my routine. That combination of movement, passion, and self-expression gave me more control over my health than I’d ever had before. Exercise doesn’t always have to look like lifting weights or running miles.. For me, it came through connection and creativity.

Of course, every diabetic’s body is different, and what worked for me may not be the same for others. But my experience shows how intimacy, when paired with exercise and self-care, can be more than just fun, it can be healing. Sex has become a positive force in my health journey, reminding me that managing diabetes doesn’t have to mean a life of restriction, it can also mean embracing joy, passion, and movement in ways that keep both body and mind thriving. 💕
