AB  - Women with diabetes are at increased risk of sexual problems. However, this 
      problem is underreported; hence, the need for this study. This was a cross 
      sectional case-controlled study. Seventy-five consenting females with type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled from the Diabetes Clinic of the Federal 
      Medical Center, Umuahia, while 75 persons, which included hospital workers and 
      female companions of subjects, were recruited as a control group. Sexual 
      dysfunction in both groups was diagnosed and characterized using the female 
      sexual function index (FSFI). Data obtained from this study was presented as Mean 
      +/- SD and analyzed using SPSS 17 software. The mean age of the T2DM group and 
      control were 44.5 years and 38.9 years, respectively. The mean total female 
      sexual score was 22.10 +/- 6.66 in the T2DM subjects, while in the control subjects 
      it was 22.43 +/- 5.29. This was not statistically significant. The FSFI scores in 
      the desire, lubrication, and orgasm domains were all lower in the diabetic women 
      and this was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The domains of pain and 
      arousal were also lower in the diabetic women, although this was not 
      statistically significant (p > 0.05). The proportion of diabetic females who 
      reported problems in the arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and pain domains was 
      higher (40.0, 36.4, 32.7, 29.1) than the controls (27.9, 16.2, 14.7, 19.1; 
      p < 0.05). The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in our study was high. 
      Similarly, the FSFI score was low in women with diabetes when compared with 
      controls. The domains of arousal, pain, orgasm, and satisfaction were the most 
      affected in subjects with DM. Age, marital status, body mass index, fasting blood 
      sugar, and hypertension were predictive of sexual dysfunction in the diabetic 
      women.
