Here's what almost nobody tells diabetic men

Men with diabetes face a higher risk of prostate problems than men without it.
That's not bad luck, there are specific reasons for it.

Insulin resistance and high insulin levels are associated with prostate cells growing faster. At the same time, the nerve damage that comes with long-term high blood sugar can weaken the bladder itself, which makes a weak stream and frequent trips worse than they'd otherwise be.

So you're often dealing with two things at once, and that's why men with both diabetes and an enlarged prostate typically have a harder time with urinary symptoms than other men.
