Diabetes mellitus affects reproductive function at different levels both in men and women. It disturbs regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary axisand impairs gonadal endocrine function at the cellular level due to direct effect of acute and/or chronic hyperglycemia, oxidative stress and microvascularcomplications. Moreover, central dysregulation aggravates hormonal disorders. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) provide a tool for thetreatment of male and female infertility in diabetic patients although many aspects of its application await in-depth studies.
