Can someone explain how diabetes affects sexual relationships?

diabetes....and the complications it brings...can cause impotence in men to varying degrees. it has to do with the blood sugar. the higher a diabetic man's sugar gets, the less likely his penis is to function correctly. not all the time, but mostly. also..high blood pressure, which is common with diabetics, can affect impotence and performance.

At first, when I was in denial with my diabetes and I was not controlling my blood sugar, I could not get an erection. Since following the protocol in the book that I talk about below, I've been much better.

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who could potentially become diabetic)...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Here's another great health site with all kinds of general health information:

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Diabetes can lead to erectile disfunction. Pills like viagra and cialis may or may not help, especially if the person also has high blood pressure. Best thing to do is lose weight to lower your insulin needs and lower your blood pressure naturally. You can use a vacuum pump to assist if the pills do not work.

Poor blood circulation causes impotence in males if their diabetes isn't under control. It can also lead to foot and leg damage which may lead to amputation later in life.

Complications of diabetes can restrict blood flow to the penis.

well, first take him for a walk, then go get an icecream followed by a chilli dog and then I am sure it will be fine. He should sleep like a baby.

if badly controlled it can lead to erectile dysfunction.
