Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction When Suffering From Diabetes

I am a diabetic type 2 and have recently found another relationship after 10years. I am on gliclazide 30mg along with metforin 500mg and sinvastine 40mg. I have been suffering with ED since the start of my new relationship, my doctor has prescribed me sildenafil 100mg that only gets me semi hard. I pleasure my partner in other ways but would love to give her penetration sex. Could this problem be my medication that I am taking for my diabetes and is there any thing else on the market that I can try for full penetration intercourse with my partner please?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Some drugs taken for diabetes and diabetes condition itself could be associated with erectile dysfunction.
However, there is nothing to worry much as you can overcome this by psychological work-up along with assisted proper diet and medications.
Kindly make sure that your blood sugar is under good control.
You can build you confidence by practising behavioural therapy like 'pause and squeeze' technique regularly.
Include in your diet - almonds, banana, pineapple, saffron, cardamom, figs and pumpkin, which are known to increase the blood flow to the penis and help to initiate and sustain erection.
Take multivitamin-multimineral supplementation regularly, which will help to keep the nerves healthy.
You can take Tablet. Tadalafil about 30 minutes before the act to have good erection, when you feel necessary.
Also, doing meditation would help you to overcome anxiety and keep your mind calm and healthy.
Over a period of time, your confidence should improve and you should be able to sustain and perform better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
