Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition in which the body is unable to use insulin correctly.
People in their forties and fifties are the most likely to have this form of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is also known as adult-onset diabetes, but it can occur at any age.
Men with diabetes are more likely to develop balanitis. Not only that, but diabetes is also one of the most common causes of balanitis. Glucose (sugar) promotes the growth of bacteria and fungi on the skin, particularly in men who take diabetic medications or have untreated diabetes.
