Type 1 diabetes finally caught up with me

Postby Refresh77 » Tue Feb 14, 2017 3:32 pm

I like many guys in here were diagnosed with diabetes around 10 years old with blood sugars out of control for a long while and finally getting them under control later in life and now experiencing trouble having sex as I approach my 30 year diabetes anniversary.

I have just started experiencing ed issues for the past year and generic cialis is not working. Before I try other big pharm pills, has anyone had success with herbs and supplements. I've read a lot on pegym and on here but have finally posted my intro. I would like some feedback from other type 1 diabetics before I proceed.

Thank you.

Like anybody experiencing ED issues, you need to find a specialist in men's sexual health and get a thorough evaluation. Self diagnosis and herbs and generic medications are not going to help you. ED does not get better by itself.

I was diagnosed 25 years ago. I remained somewhat out of control for ten years until ED started to creep in and take over. I now have it under control, but the damage has been done. Plaque build up, peripheral neuropathy (reduced sensativity) and anatomical neuropathy (reduced sexually performance).

When Viagra no longer worked, I switched to Trimix injections which worked well for about three years and then started to loose effectiveness. I now rely on a vacuum erection device with a tight constriction band (Osbon).
