Hi,
Insulin does not cause erectile dysfunction. One of the major causes of organic erectile dysfunction is diabetes itself. Diabetes results in excessive sugar in your blood vessels which makes them harder and causes circulation problems. Best way to prevent ED while having diabetes is to manage your diabetes effectively with being compliant to your medication and regularly seeing your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe you Sildenafil if he feels that your ED is due to your diabetes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saralkumar R. Desai, General & Family Physician
