IMPOTENCE: THE FIRST SYMPTOM OF DIABETES?
Sometimes potency problems are the first sign that a man has diabetes. New York researchers studied three groups of men who were thought not to be diabetic. The men in the first group were impotent, the men in the second group complained of premature ejaculation and the men in the third group had normal sexual function.
Blood tests to diagnose diabetes showed that about one in eight of the men complaining of impotence were diabetic. These men had no other diabetic symptoms. None of the men in the other two groups were found to be diabetic. The lesson: When potency problems develop, it’s important to check for diabetes.
In Daniel’s case, the “downhill slide,” as he called it, happened fairly fast, once the problem surfaced. But other men find the problem develops much more gradually, over a period of several years. Bert, a manufacturer’s representative, was diagnosed as diabetic when he was 31. Even after the diagnosis he didn’t always take proper care of himself, he admits, and after several years he developed circulation problems in his feet as well as other complications. But it took about five years for him to notice a change in his erections, and even then it was several years before he considered problems with erections a chronic condition. “I just gradually got to the point where I couldn’t have sex,” he says.
For Bert, the problem wasn’t only damage to the nerves and arteries—when Bert’s diabetes got out of control, his erections got worse. The strain on Bert’s body made erections impossible. When his diabetes was under better control, his erections improved. Bert, however, is a case study of how not to deal with diabetes. For some people, restoring normal blood sugar will restore normal potency. The key is not to ignore the problem until if s too late.
Maintaining a proper diet, using prescribed medication and following a doctor’s recommendations for exercise and weight control are essential for the diabetic man who wants to put all the potency odds in his favor. This way, you’re more likely to avoid other complications of this disease: nerve damage, blood-flow blockages and blindness. A diabetic man without these unpleasant conditions runs less chance of developing erection problems than a man who has such problems.
