What Causes Poor Libido While Suffering From Diabetes?

Hi, I m a 63 yr old male, divorced, diabetic (on insulin), and am experiencing a drastic change in libido and ejaculate decrease. I want to understand it and fix it if I can because I don t feel dead , and I certainly don t want to miss a symptom that could be a serious health risk. Your discussion would help me accept and treat it as a normal change in life, not to mention putting my mind at rest. Thanks, in advance. YYYY@YYYY 512.638.0514
