I asked my DN this question and she said it could. "Right" says I, "I'll bring the wife for in a blood test, 'cause I think she's must have had diabetes fer 30 years". :lol: :lol: Seriously though, aren't loss of libido and erectile dysfunction two separate problems ?

Next question, now that I've got the gear, am I following a good testing regime ? At the mo I'm testing first thing in the morning (before eating or drinking anything); then before our main meal (usually 1830hrs-ish) and 2+ hours after it. Also should I record what I've eaten ? So far I've done...
