Brief Answer:
There is no cure.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I had gone through your question.

People with diabetes can develop nerve damage which can occur in every organ including the sex organs and this is called diabetic neuropathy.

Diabetic neuropathy has no known cure because damage nerves can not be restored.

You can try to avoid alcohol and cigarettes because this can worsen your symptoms. Also keeping your sugar levels in check can reduce symptoms and prevent them from getting worse.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
