Hi. Yes, it's very common with diabetes partly due to the thicker blood causing more restriction in blood flow hence the need to keep blood sugar in the right area. You can be prescribed Viagra (max 4 per month) free as a diabetic. Obviously the stress of being diagnosed doesn't help. Note that a penis ring is an alternative to consider and you can buy these over the Internet but use as directed.

Hello mo1905.
Yep diabetes and erectile dysfunction is indeed linked ...
When I did the desmond course this was talked about and every man in the room
was with this condition .
There are things that can help like viagra and devices etc...
If you feel able to - try talking with your GP about this ?
He/she will be able to refer or steer you in the right direction to overcome this.
If it is a medical or stress linked thing happening ...
Ask any further questions you wish/need to also.
Someone will help/support you along here .
Anna.

Viagra didn't do it for me but Cialas did - talk to your doc, I was prescibed 8 at a time but was never told of any restrcition.
Hard enough having diabates without this as well!
(No pun BTW
)
Before diagnosis I was also forever at the doc as the extra protein (??) in urine was causing infection (thrush?) which
whilst not painful was very annoying. (You're not coming near me with that!!!)
Good news - for me anyways - is that when my BS is stable and under control I have no issues. Not sure if that's the same for everyone.

Yes mate have just been diagnosed with same problem. Viagra is ok for Type 2 diabetics I've been told. But the consultant I've been seeing has told me that type 1 diabetics often need much stonger drugs. I kept my problem quite for over 14 years but now I'm beening sorted. Its all due to nerve damage which stop your erections so do go and get refered to your hospital. I was amazed to see how many diabetics suffer with thos problem.

Hi Glenmoray.
There you see - plenty of other guys have this .
No need for the keeping quiet of this condition .
You have others just alike yourself with it too .
All the guys in my course 'variable in ages' too had this .
It was amazing given the mix of gender in the room, we all ended
up talking about it easily without any
A question that came from most of the guys was -
What do women want ? if cant/unable do s*x ?
All us girls said A CUDDLE :thumbup:
True lads - a cuddle really means a lot ...

I was diagnosed 3 years ago and had the same problem for about a year.
my erection was not even enough for penatrative sex. i finally said to my diabetes nurse about the problem(bit worried as my nurse is a woman) but took 15 mins to explain about how diabetes affects this problem.
she booked me an appointment with my doctor and i was given viagra 100mg. you get 4 tablets a month,
all the problems of nothing happening down there for a year,worried about talking about it and now i realise how easy and professional my nurse and doctor was helping me..
i also sometimes use a ring too just to help a little but i dont really need too.
glad to say all works well and trying for another baby!!!
book up with your doctor and get it sorted as soon as....its so straightforward!

Hi i was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure because i went to the docs with ED and he told me a few things could cause it one being high blood pressure he took that and said it was high normal, he also requested bloods full screening... when they came back he was concerned about the BS Level so took another one which was slightly lower but the Hb1AC was 7.4 so i was diagnosed.... for mr floppy i got given vigara straight away. and have had a few prescritpion since. i believe its all to dow ith the neuropathy and blood vessels etc.
It can be a little pain as with viagara you cant really be spntaneous but the girlfriend is understand and as she reminds me have other sttributes that do the job haha ...
talk to your doc and make sure your partner understands and that things can be done

My partner also suffers ED. We've tried Viagra, Levitra and Cialis to no avail. A ring helps a little, but not to the extent that it's problem solved.
I was interested in Stillo saying he's on a Cialis every day - we've never been given this option. We have an appointment with the specialist in a few months so I'm trying to find out as many options as possible before that.
Anyone else on Cialis daily?

Ginseng!
But it can also lower blood sugar, the foillowing also may or may not apply,
Drink more water
Drink less alcohol
Exercise will improve circulation.
Keep things really healthy down there by eating bananas, they're loaded with good stuff like zinc and potassium, but be careful as they can also spike your blood sugar.
