Brief Answer:
Get the diabetes eel controlled and you need antibiotics for the gastritis!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the different health conditions that you have reported. Let's take a look at them.

1. Numbness. This is a direct longterm complication of poorly controlled diabetes. I will like you to work on this and get the values under controlled. This would be a great way to fix this problem. Also, it is for this same reason that you are unable to get good erections and your sex life is ruined. Diabetes is managed through medications, regular physical exercise and diet modifications which void excess carbohydrates and rapid sugars. a good way to fix the erection problem in the short run is by using viagra. However, the longterm and best treatment would be to get the diabetes well controlled. This is a pressing and most important thing to do at this time.

2. The biopsy results show that you have a germ. This is treated by using 3 antibiotics. Talk to your doctor about H. pylori eradication protocol. This would take care of the abdominal pain and the gastritis that you reported.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you well and a speedy recovery.

Brief Answer:
Get this diabetes well managed!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Most of these symptoms can be managed by controlling your diabetes well. This is the main cause of all the problems from numbness, through sexual impotence and persistent gastritis. You cannot be put on antibiotics for 6months. That is not good practice and of course this would not address the gastritis problem. There is no germ in the stomach that requires 6months of several antibiotics for eradication.

Viagra would not pose any problems. continue with reserve. However, managing the diabetes well is the main thing to do here. I will like to know your medications and how you take them. Also, I will like to know what you recent blood glucose control values are.

I wish you well and hope to hear from you.

Brief Answer:
Please, get this diabetes well controlled. This would resolve teh problems!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Have you had the chance to work with an endocrinologist. This management is definitely not great and your poor glucose control is ruining all your live. If you have never worked with a diabetologist/endocrinologist, please ask your doctor to refer you to one. Diabetes needs such a close monitoring that I cannot do correctly online.

In addition to drugs, regular physical exercise, healthy diet, enough fruits and vegetables, would help towards getting a better control.

I wish you well.
