I ,like other most diabetic patients notice decreased/reduced ability with sex drive . Can you guys share what could be the advice to overcome such problem without use of Viagra etc.......
 
you are no orphan with this side effect of diabetes. upto 75% of us will have problems http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-erectile-dysfunction.html
you need to talk to your Dr and get referred to the urology/ED clinic, now although you may feel embarrassed, they do it all day every day. they will work out and treat if it's medication, vascular or a nerve problem, as well as the emotional stuff that can stop us all in our tracks
 
its worth pointing out that sex drive is different from erectile dysfunction...........

If my blood sugars are out of whack for more than a week I can see my sex drive diminish.........no problems with erections so far though..........

so in order to get your sex drive back, trying hard to get your BG under control will help.............erections are a different problem though and can be down to many things outside of the diabetic reasons.......but its worth finding out if the diabetes is playing a part.....
 
Im 59, and been diabetic since 1998 with average BS control, thankfully 1 problem i HAVENT had is getting Mr Willy to wake up, however getting wifey interested is a different thing altogether.....................
