Hey guys

Im new to this fourm. I would to get something off my chest. I'm 26 years old and started getting ed in the summer. I'm a t1 diabetic. I'm in college and the last year prior to the symptoms, I was busy and getting some highs. I shouls have been careful but I was not informed enough that t1 diabetes can cause ed. I have yet to see a urologist, need a referral first and hopefully I can see a urologist at UW medical in Seattle. I tried 5mg of cialis every 3/4 days, can get erections but doesnt last very long. It probably is VL but not 100% sure yet. I've come to accept this condition now.

I'm studying accounting in my last year and a half before graduation. Looking to land an internship and get a job paying job. Good health insurance is important. Ive lowered my my a1c and looking to go down to 5 or 6. I was at 8 before.

My question is, how do you guys try and stay positive? 2 weeks ago I felt pretty happy and just enjoying myself. Last week, I was down and out. I found myself feeling pathetic, disappointing, less of a man, robbed and worthless. I couldnt do what I liked, like playing video games and watching t.v. I would lock myself in my room sometimes. In trying to stay focused in school but at times finding it hard.

Would love some advice.

Just go ahead, try not to think about it. Also, try to solve it. Keep some hope.

As a 25 plus year insulin dependent diabetic I know what you are going through. At your age, if you are able to get your BGs under control, you should be able to get your erections back.

Excess blood glucose causes peripheral neuropathy - reducing nerve sensitivity in your dick and autonomic neuropathy - reduced non voluntary reactions, including sexual response. These can be reversed in the early stages of high blood glucose if you can get it under control.
