I'm 22 years old and was diagnosed as a child with type 1, my control has generally been alright but not the best and my recent hba1c was 6.8 which I'm told is excellent, however for the past few months I've been having problems with my elections. I'm able to get it up with no problem but not for very long and its also not as strong as it used to be (sometimes gets erect but stays really soft) it's really embarrassing and I haven't spoken to anyone about it and my wife mostly just thinks it's because my sugar level is high even though it's not. I'm so confuse, what should I do? I'm only 22 how can this be possible and is it diabetes related as I'm not particularly over weight maybe a couple kilos but not much. If there is anyone my age or any age actually who is going through something similar please get in contact I'm really scared. Someone please answer.

ok heres the harsh reality pal.
I lost the use of my ole (big) friend when I was 29/30yrs old....I was in a relationship with a gorgeous girl for 3 years at the time but she couldn't look past the problem and love the guy or MAN in me so it didn't last...she strayed.
Her excuse was she wanted a normal relationship....sex on the go without any planning such as medical help for a S**G!
I tried the lot ....the famous blue pill....**** ring...pump....even injected my Penis a few times but to no avail....it wasn't the same and since then I have had a few relationships but all the women ive been with still want that big hard todger....that's a FACT!!!
Sex is 99.9% of any relationship....even more so today for everywhere you look its there in your face SEX SEX SEX.
So ive given up on the ladies for yes ive been hurt so many times and yes even today I get approached by them but politely I make my excuses and leave.
Your married....if she really really loves you and if she understands that penetrational sex is now OFF the cards for the rest of her life then you've found a goodn BUT in my experience I wouldn't hold your breath for temptation to stray will probably be too hard for her to take so its best you get ready for that Dear John letter.
I know I may sound harsh and nasty but I'm older than you and as ive said ive experienced it too many times.
Now I find myself chasing the addrenalin rush in different matters such as keeping fit as always and experiencing life in the ways...such as
Kayaking,
surfing,
boxing,
riding my Ninja supersport motorbike at stupid speeds,
mountain climbing,
football,
fishing
running,
weight lifting,
swimming,
fell walking,
Motorsports.
Basically what I'm saying its not the end of the world....theres much more to life than sex.
Its overrated anyways

YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!

Hey, if you use pornography, stop it at once. Just do not ever use it again. After some time you will get erections as normal again.

Sorry to hear you've been hurt and you're right that sex isn't everything. Ironically, there are women who have given up on having a relationship with a man because penetrative sex is too painful for them and they think no man would put up with that. Sounds like there is a need for a specialised dating agency!

You may have a point there my friend.... Could be a gap in the market for a None penetrated relationship dating website....watch this space.
Oh and guys....don't pity me for my life is so full and I'm just happy I'm here and still breathing.
As I say "You have to keep on keepin on" :)

Zeeshan.................. I have had ED for 15yrs now (I'm 54 now), it is not the end of the World, nor, if your lady loves you, is it the end of your marriage. I will say that this problem may worsen with time. Penetrative sex is not the be all and end all of intimate contact. My wife, whom I entered in to a relationship only 4yrs ago is very understanding and we have concentrated on the other aspects of sex. Female orgasm is most likely through other stimulation than penetration. Try to put aside thoughts of penetrative sex for now and concentrate on pleasing your lady in other ways. I truly do know the feelings of frustration and emasculinity, but my wife is so supportive and helps me when these emotions get too much. Oral and heavy petting can be just as pleasurable to a woman. The main problem, can be avoiding sex altogether to circumvent the frustration, but this, in turn, creates a feeling of abandonment and unattractiveness in your lady. It is ****** that you have been afflicted so young, but satisfaction in the bedroom and (maybe) children, are not banned from your life. Chin up, you are not alone.

Several years ago at the age of 40, I had similar problems all attributed to my diabetes, pills prescribed and worked however skip forward and only as recently as Dec 15 after a hormone test at the hospital, it turned out not to be diabetes related but was in fact low testosterone, I started replacement therapy, there's not much I can say, other than there has been a total reversal of ED.

Dear Stallen,
Can you give more details on medication used to increase testorone and how long did it take to reverse ED? Thanx
