I’m sorry if any one take offense from me but this is a serious email that my husband is very embarrassed about. He was listening to the radio and heard that diabetic can give a diabetic impotence , is this true. For the last year he has been having problems and has been very frustrated about this, he wants to go to the doctor but is embarrassed, I was thinking about calling the doctor for him. We have been to the same doctor for 8 years so we have a great doctor patient’s relationship’s there a medication out there to help him.Once again sorry if asking this upsets anyone

Julie,
Diabetes also causes lack of sexual interest in women but there is much less research in this for women. Viagra was developed exactly for this reason. There are now newer meds on the market. The nerves which carry the impulses for erection are easily damaged by elevated blood sugars. Unfortunately this is what will bring a person into the doctor's and then the diagnosis of diabetes is made. It is also pretty frustrating for both partners. So I suggest that you call your doctor and talk with him about this.
A gentle hug,
Mary Frances
