Juvenile diabetes and human sperm quality.
Spermiological findings in 25 juvenile diabetics in the age range 16 to 22 years (average 18.5) have been compared with normal spermiological findings in 24 individuals of the same age (16 to 22 years, average 18.7). A drift to lower sperm values in the group of the juvenile diabetics became evident in all parameters observed. As concerns motility and morphology, the differences between the groups reached statistically significant values.
