[QUOTE="Rich2222, post: 1804138, member: 476796"] I was diagnosed as T2 Diabetic 5 years ago, which I managed through diet. 18 months ago, blood sugar levels started to rise and I started to take Metformin, which brought blood sugars down. I decided to change my diet and went ‘low carb’, resulting in the required weight loss, and further reduction in blood sugar levels. I have had Erectile Dysfunction for about 6 years. Because of a minor heart condition, I was initially referred to the local Urology specialist team at Hospital. As a non responder to Sildenafil and Verdenafil, I was prescribed with Cialis which worked quite well until about 9 months ago. When Cialis ceased to be effective (coincidentally at about the same time as my Diabetes was coming under control!), I went back to Urology. Eventually I started inter-cavernous injections (Caverject). After 3 months of pain, the Consultant recommended a trial of a Invicorp (another injection). This was successful, and he wrote back to my GP recommending two treatments per week. This is supplied free as I am over 60. My diabetic nurse is now talking about stopping the Metformin, and taking me off the Diabetic register. My ED is still quite chronic and my question is over my continued eligibility for the ED medication, if my GP service says I am no longer Diabetic (although I believe the preferred term is ‘in remission’). The injections are quite expensive (about £20 per week) and I wouldn’t be able to continue these on a private prescription. It has been a long and stressful journey to get to this point- I am now very concerned about the future of my sex life! Can anyone tell what happens to ED prescriptions if your Diabetes goes into remission? [/QUOTE]
