Hello
Thank you for getting in touch with us. As I see, your husband has a low sperm count of 8million/ml. This is most probably related to diabetes and sugar he is having. As his blood sugar is in control now, he should work on his cholesterol and get in within normal range too. Along with that, he needs to get regular check ups done to evaluate the quality of the sperm. If there is no improvement even after sometime, then you can consider going in for other means of fertilization. Hope this helps
Regards
Dr. Gagandeep Dhillon
