Anonymous question submitted:

Hi there. I'm a type 1 Diabetic, have been for 10 years now. I'm fairly well controlled but I have problems with erections all the time. I have been to my GP several time and I've tried numerous Viagra style tablets but still no joy. Is there any other help I can get in this area. Many thanks

Might be worth asking your GP to check your Testosterone levels if they haven't been checked already, it my not just be a diabetic problem.

how long have you had issues for? It's also possible that they are psychological.

By pass your GP. Ask your diabetic clinic nurse to refer you to the ED outpatients. Once you get an appointment, ask to try Viridal.

It's a small self-administered injection with a very fine needle that you barely notice that you inject into the side of the shaft and is mega. You will get a 'diamond-cutter' erection that lasts at least an hour even if you pop your cork to early, and you will get secondary erections for a couple of hours after (who's complaining?).

It is excellent and has no side effects (such as flashing lights, blue tinted vision etc). I'm 57 and been using it for 3 years now.

But unlike viagara, where you usually get adminstered 2 doses a week, viridal is more pricey so the spoilsports only give you 4 shots a month.

I have been T1 for 50 years since 1970 when I was 13 , by the time I was 23 I was unable to maintain an erection but was unable to talk to anyone about it, I made excuses not to be intimate with my new wife so she left me.
It was 5 years before I dared get seriously involved in a relationship and I decided to seek help. I was referred to a urologist who recommended injections into my penis with a mixture of papavorine and phentolomine before sex - this did work but you would end up with an painful erection that could last for 15-20 hours and was withdrawn from use as dangerous. Over the years I have been prescribed Caverject (injection) then pellets that were to be inserted into the penis, vacuum pumps, viagra and others that I cant remember but nothing has worked. I just had to resign myself to a life without sex - It is the one thing that I will always HATE diabetes for - its ruined my life!!

Hello,

This is a very old topic started a few years ago.

There are some bad times due to diabetes. But also some better times.
How has your BG managment been of late. .
Psychologically, sometimes negative past experience can effect the now? Regardless of methods & hopes for success used.

These are modern times. "Marital aids" are the norm.. & expression of love is more open in a companionship.

It's not always a man's issue. Frank discussion in a relationship could find you both some mutual happiness.

Putting this one in the back pocket for when I get it.
