default
Posted on Mon, 5 May 2014
Question: am 23 years of age, I have type 1 diabetes since 8 years and am on insulin. I have my sugar in control and maintain a very healthy lifestyle. Recently ( been 2 days) i have noticed not having my regular hard morning erections. Also, like in the past i used to get aroused really easily and now i feel suddenly within these past two days my arousal rates have dropped. This is becoming a very stressful situation. i get hard when i make an attempt. but the erections seem less hard than before. I have been having lack of sleep lately and no i do not smoke or drink, and yes in regards to sexual thoughts i do have them and when i have them in discussion with my partner via texts i have a erection. Also, i have started taking enzyte which is a natural viagra if you may have heard of it. i started taking desiccated liver tabs from universal for my workouts, but its main constituents are amminos both essential and nonessential but i stopped taking them since this problem started. also while searching for answers online, i came across my symptoms laying in the area due to lack of sleep. i have been feeling tired, losing lack of reality and lately this erection problem has added to it.
