erectile dysfunction
now you mentioned that your sugar levels are under control
so I would like to know what do you mean by control? is it within normal range ?
also what medicines are you taking to control it
because some oral hypoglycaemic agents do have side effects like body pain and fatigue
erectile dysfunction is again very common in diabetes
for how long have you been suffering from diabetes
what should you do ?
1st and foremost - life style changes like start mild to moderate work out like walk for 45 mins or run for 20 mins
this will solve all your problems
for understanding sugar control you need to do a test called HBa1C
if it’s under 7 that means your sugars are well controlled for the past 3 months
you should get this test done every 3 months to keep a check on your sugar regulations
also start taking multivitamin supplements as that is also co existing with diabetes
calcium and vitamin d3 supplements
take 6 small meals a day
if you are a smoker or if you consume alcohol try controlling it
if you can simply do these changes your problems will vanish and you will lead an extremely normal life with good libido
if you need any assistance about any more details please feel free to write me back
I would be more than happy to help
best regards
