Feeling Lack Of Energy And Low Sexual Drive. Sugar Is 125. Treatment?
I am a 39 yrs old male about 65 KGs and 5 8 in height. Since last few months, I am feeling low on energy. Very low on sexual drive and capacity (wife is complaining now). My morning pre-breakfast sugar reading coming out to be around 125. I eat light Indian lunch but I don t eat dinner most of the nights as I don t feel need of it. I am not doing any cardio exercises. Work wise (desk job as Project Manager) not very happy but not much stress either. How to overcome this lack of energy, drive and capacity? I want my life back. Help is required and appreciated. Thanks.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
An andrologist (urologist) will be the best person to approach.
Counselling is very useful (andrologist or Psychologist)
Proper control of diabetes is necessary.
Drugs like sildenafil (Viagra) help
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hi,
Sorry to hear that, lets see how I can help u come back to normal.
*your pre-breakfast level of sugar is high it should be in around 90
Lets see what might be going on,
i) the feeling of low energy is knows as "Fatigue"
ii) low sex drive.
causes : 1) anemia , (Low iron in blood gives feeling of fatigue)
: 2) hypo-thyrodism (low thyroid hormone level- thyroid hormone is important for metabolism and . energy and mood )
: 3) low testosterone level ( testosterone is male sex hormone- for sex drive
: 4) diabetes (high sugar content in blood- it tends also be a significant cause of problems you are . having)
: 5) lot of stress is also know culprit for fatigue and low sex drive.
: 6) Psychological fear of performance can reduce the sex drive and erection may not be achieved.
Advice: see your physician and let him know what is going on.
Here is mostly what they will do in order to reach the diagnosis (just an heads off)
a) do run some blood test which measure the hemoglobin, testosterone level, thyroid level
b) They will check the blood glucose level in HbA1C- Which is average for 3 months level and its in single digit . score from " 1-9" less then 7 is normal
c) For stress you need to have some relaxation technique like meditation,
d) in case of diabetes they will prescribe you medication to control it and will make the sex problems go away . gradually
e) in case of low testosterone he/she will give an gel for increasing the hormone
f) for low thyroid he/she will prescribe you an tablet
So nothing is to worry about , the problem only lies that you have the break open the conversation. If not u can just print out the conversation and hand it to him and your physician will help you.
Don't worry its very common and nothing to shamed about, please get your self checked and help your self and your marriage.
If You need me to talk to your doctor give me his email address i can email the condition and yes many families are going through similar problem please help yourself.
Thanks for being brave to share it
