Up to 75% of men with diabetes will experience ED at some point in their lives. According to the Mayo Clinic, poor long-term blood sugar control can cause damage to the nerves and blood vessels, leading to ED. That is why men with diabetes will experience erectile dysfunction up to 15 years earlier than men without diabetes.
In addition, diabetes is often linked with other medical conditions that can cause ED including high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. Some medications may help a man with diabetes achieve and maintain an erection, although many of them are not suited for people with heart conditions because they interfere with heart medication. Talk to your doctor to find out what you can do to correct this problem.
