Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are known diabetic which is well controlled with oral medications and facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction .

With increase in age there is fall in serum testosterone by 1% for every year which causes reduction in sexual libido of a man .In an individual with diabetes and at old age of 75 years there is generalized atherosclerosis involving penile artery which carries blood to erectile bodies causing reduced blood flow to erectile tissue leading to Erectile Dysfunction .
One more additive factor apart from these two main causes is peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes which also contributes to erectile Dysfunction .

Please take Sildenafil or Tadalafil as on demand one hour before planned sexual activities .This will help you to get good hard erection to have enjoyable sex .

Consult your family Physician for prescription and guidance about the doses .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
