Ok so I just been asked as a diabetic
What would happen if u had a Viagra ?!?
My response was "going with a smile !?!! "

No idea ?! But good funny question !!
Anyone know or hear of study
 
I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but Viagra is a useful treatment for the erectile dysfunction that a lot of men with diabetes have. If I was with a guy who needed it, I'd support him taking it. Cialis is also a good treatment, arguably better, because it allows more control over erections so it's more like the natural process. Viagra just provides an erection that doesn't go away for a few hours, whereas Cialis lasts for something like 36 hours and the guy can have or not have an erection during that time as he wishes.
 
I think my friend meant
Would it not make u have lots of hypos if going for it that long lol
But your distinction of points is well received
Wonder if anyone has found that taking such things messes with bg readings as u would require more NRG
And you may miss match your food in take to your activates ?!
 
I guess in some respects it would be like taking an amphetamine based drug & "throwing shapes" on a dance floor all night. Though in the aforementioned case of amphetamine use it is an apatite suppressant too.

The common factor With these drugs if used would be of course, focus on the "activity" & not on BS control....

In both cases of a possible unfortunate untimely death as a result? The ironic "comedy value" would be priceless...

I'd say for the average T1 male, with or without Viagra, it's probably not going to result in a hypo as it's more like anaerobic exercise. Short and high intensity.

I sincerely respect your point.

However! Your less likely to have the liver's function diverted from "glycogen dump" to processing alcohol during a cardiovascular work out.. Lol
 
I tried it a whole week everyday, one pill at a time! Nothing bad is happening. No hypo, really start to see things a bit blueish at darkened rooms after three days. I guess once a day for 7 days start to lose its productivity a bit, but may be it was me losing my appetite for that lady for some reasons I can not explain
 

Sorry to hear that. It must have been quite hard on you both.
 
Well, thats allright. At least I now know that one should take the pill at least 48 hours intervals. Though, I didn't needed that much of use of the pill, was just an experiment I did for my own. That was three years ago, and not using since.

The point here is T1 s may use the pill as instructed with no obvious and dangerous side effects... tested on a human T1!
 
Cracking news then all round !!
And Yer ... Same here bud - must be a pain in neck with it all - sure life will turn thing up right again
 
I will never forget attended DAFNE as the only female, and all the guys ever seemed to talk about was how to get hold of it, I was obviously accepted as one of the lads as they mind talking about it in front of me !!

Cat Lady, I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you here. Viagra (aka sildenafil) enables a perfectly normal erection, i.e. it occurs when the necessary stimulus is there and disappears when it is not. It is effective for about four hours, during which time the erection can come and go, according to circumstances. Cialis is the same, but is effective over a longer period.

Fair point, thanks for the info. The only time I was with a guy who used it, his erection didn't go away, so maybe that was due to other factors after all
