Diagnosed As Diabetic, On Galvusmet BP And Cholesterol Tablet, Weight Loss, Under Diet. Suggestion?

I have recently diagnosed as a diabetic type 2. I have been taking Galvumet for my diabetes, blood pressure tablets & cholesterol tablets. I have not been able to get an erection since taking this medication. I have lost around 15 kg in weight, no more sugar or sweets no more coke as in soft drinks. Feel better however less or no sex drive. Please help!

Hi,

Usually, diabetes is related to sexual dysfunction. In addition, blood pressure tablets can also alter the sexual activity.

Therefore, the first thing to do is to get a good control of your blood sugar levels (at least for the last 3 months). Medications, lifestyle and diet changes can help.

I usually recommend my patients to use herbs that can control diabetes and for your sexual life. Can ask in the local herbal stores or pharmacy!

Hope it helped!
