If I may throw in my 2 cents...
For some, this can be a powerful motivator to work hard so that you get better control of your sugars. The better your sugar control, the lower your risk of all kinds of complications, including ED and other sexual problems. Even if you are already having problems, getting control of your sugars will slow those problems down.
Although ED can be caused by loss of sensation or blood flow problems, it can also be caused by psychological factors, which are easier to treat, so don't panic if you are having problems. Ideally, talk to a counsellor, a doctor, and your spouse.
