[QUOTE="New Haven Neil, post: 2200296, member: 510164"] I have just stumbled on your post - I'm happy to share! I'm 60, diagnosed T2 in May 2019, 51/6.8%, I live on a small island that isn't part of the UK but is near it! I have with diet and exercise only reduced my A1c to 36/5.4%, lost weight from 14st 6lb to 12st 2lb. I however have suffered with ED for the last two or three years - prior to diagnosis obviously. I suspect I have reactive hypoglycaemia too, but not sure that effects anything. I have used viagra for the last 18 months with reasonable success, my problem is the erection, not the libido, in fact my libido is strong as ever (happily married 35 years) and my sex drive if anything better than 10 years ago. (Don't be afraid to ask your GP about these drugs, once you get past the initial embarrassment it is a positive experience). The problem in my case isn't getting an erection, but is sustaining it. My testosterone level is at the low end of normal range, I have all my own hair but it's a bit thin now up-top but I'm almost 61. After controlling my blood glucose I do in general feel better, especially since being diagnosed low vitamin D despite taking a general supplement, in fact the T2 was diagnosed while investigating general lethargy and feeling 81 not almost 61! Extra vit D has helped a lot, and maybe just a bit with the ED. I have better weeks and worse weeks, but it is better than it was, the only problem really (hope this isn't too much detail, mods) is the delay in the viagra working - it can spoil the moment rather having to wait an extra 30-45 minutes. I am going to ask to try alternatives next week. We're both busy people, I run a business and my wife is a civil servant and run off her feet, so time is always at a premium! I don't know how much T2 is linked to the ED, but with control of my BG things have got better - not a cure, but more confidence at least. [/QUOTE]
