You sugar level are mildly elevated;
You can discuss with your doctor and increase the dose of diabetic drugs; depending on Fasting blood sugar level and Post prandial sugar levels.
Kindly check your HbA1c; serum creatinine; lipid levels also.
For ur E D a work up has to be done whether it is due to diabetes or due to decrease in hormonal levels.
My suggestion is to get ur sugars strictly undercontrol
