Hi all,
Ive been diabetic for 12 years and have always had reasonably good control, in fact very good control so im told. im 38 and a generally fit man (although i should do a little extra).

The last few weeks ive noticed that i dont get sexually aroused anymore! Nothing helps, its just not happening. I've gone through a bit of a stressfull break up since Xmas and at first thought it was that, but the more im worrying about it, it seems the worse it is getting.

I am still sexually active (or trying to be). Is diabetes a definate reason for loss of erections? once it happens is that it? Do the nerve endings just die and then thats it? Do the tablets like viagra and cialis not work at all once there are no nerve endings? Ive been to my GP and he gave me some Cialis to try but i dont think they did? I'm worried that being single and still relatively young that my life could all be over?

Ive started to take a few supplements i.e. Vitamins, ginseng etc and ive always ate quite healthy. I'm at a loss and probably not helping myself by worrying.

Im pulling my hair out to be honest. Can somebody give me the facts?

Thank you
Worried

Firstly don't think your not normal! I am in my late twenties now but in my early twenties I had some ED issues and it was down to stress... sounds very similar to your story.. broke up from a long term relationships.. was very stressful had other work stresses and just couldn't seem to get sexually excited no matter what was tried?!! The more you worry the worse it gets and then well that's going to kill all chance of anything happening...

In my case my new partner was particularly patient and we slowly worked up to it without pressure and hey presto one day he just started to work again and I haven't had any problems since... I think its unlikely that its diabetes related if you have had good control (although always worth getting the doctors to check it out)... I think you need to stop pressuring yourself and talk a step back.. perhaps talk to the doctor about maybe using medication as a way of breaking the cycle.. if you use Viagra to ensure an erection and you then start enjoying the sex rather than worrying about if your manhood is going to work then it may help break the cycle you are currently in..

Processed foods and refined carbohydrates!
ED can come and go, at any age & I doubt it is all down to diabetes in your case. More likely the stress from the relationship break up you mentioned. Its happened to me and I got over it. Cialis on its own wont suddenly bring back the labido / erections and thats probably also contributing to your anxiety i.e. thinking even cialis doesnt work.
Easy for me to say, I know, but give the thought of sex and cialis a rest for a while until your confidence returns. Breaking up with someone close can really hit hard and take some time to get over. When its stopped playing on your mind you will soon enough find things returning to normal and all the 'nerve endings' reawakened!
