The physical and emotional challenges of diabetes can certainly take its' toll on a person's sexual abilities. Take a look at what we wrote here on the site about ED and then we would suggest you start by seeing your doctor to discuss the alternatives mentioned in the article. You may even seek out a specialist in the area of male sexual dysfunction. And be sure to let us know if this is informative for you.

I have found viagra to be very helpful. Just be brave and ask your doctor for a script. make sure he puts on there that you can buy at your own pace cause they are pretty costly. They work real good for maintaining an erection but not helpful for aiding ejaculation.
