Men who are diabetics? ?!
Question: Men who are diabetics.? .?
Hi, my husband is a diabetic, on tablets at the moment, but is not interested in being intimate at all, and it has been nearly a year. He does not wish to talk about it, nor seek help from a doctor.
I do realise that being a diabetic can cause this, but it is now getting to the point like we are just friends which is very sad.
We have been married for 13 years, and all is good. we still love each other, but is there something at all i can do. He is not having an affair. he is just i think very embarrassed.
please help and please no cruel jokes or being mean. this is very serious.
thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
There are a number of reasons why men with diabetes are prone to erectile dysfunction (ED).
Diabetes can damage the nerves, the erectile tissue and small blood vessels in the penis, as well as other tissues in the body.
Damage to the nerves, known as neuropathy, may mean that there is less sensation in the penis and less signalling to it from the brain, making it more difficult to get and maintain an erection.
Damage to the erectile tissue will prevent the muscle fibres within it from adequately relaxing, so that the penis cannot fill with blood during erection.
Damage to the blood vessels will also prevent the erectile tissues from filling with blood.
Men with diabetes are more prone to high blood pressure. Many of the medicines used to treat high blood pressure can be responsible for causing erectile dysfunction.
Diabetes increases your risk of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). If this affects the blood supply to the penis, it can cause impotence.
Blood sugar level and erectile dysfunction
Smoking and poor control of blood sugar make complications from diabetes, such as impotence, more likely.
This is why it is important your diabetes treatment is optimised: good control of the blood sugar level will help maintain the body's ability to produce an erection. Stopping smoking is always a good idea.
How common are sexual problems in diabetes.?
About 50 per cent of men with diabetes will experience some kind of sexual problem or loss of sexual desire as a result of their condition. In men, the commonest sexual problem caused by diabetes is erectile dysfunction.
