The objective of the present work was to estimate the influence of the compensation of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and its late complications on the sexual function of the women presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus during the peri- and post-menopausal periods. The sexual function was studied in 368 women with DM2 and in 314 ones without disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism (controls) using the Women's Sexual Function Questionnaire developed by F.H. Quirk in 2002. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the groups of DM2 women and controls was estimated at 52.2% and 30.9% respectively (p 7.0%).
