Erectile dysfunction and diabetes

The solution

Most men experience episodes of erectile dysfunction from time to time, but you’re not doomed to a lifetime of erectile dysfunction just because you have diabetes. Take action today!

• Control your blood sugar level. Good blood sugar control can prevent the nerve and blood vessel damage that leads to erectile dysfunction. If you’re having trouble controlling your blood sugar level or following your diabetes treatment plan, talk to your doctor.
