my first post here and in addition to all the other accurate suggestions, do not discount the blood pressure your doc likely put you on to help protect your kidneys if for no other reason. BP meds can have a pretty significant contribution to ED.

Best are the suggestions to get exercise, lose some weight as possible and control the carbs to help reign in the BG levels. All of those can in one fashion or another affect circulation, especially in the periphery.

Any pain meds can also help induce or increase the degree of ED. Another thing to look for are AM erections...you know when you have to urinate in the AM and it causes an erection. As long as you still get those to some degree, it's a good sign there is no serious physical damage due to the reduced circulation from the side effects of your BG levels.

It's great men can discuss these things today...I know I've come to understand the issues and how fragile and complex that part of our anatomy actually is.

Hope things "perk-up" for everyone!! I too experience the issue to varying degrees but have a complex situation and am somewhat enjoying the way things are currently. Though the more I read about HRT (in our case testosterone) for improved general health. It is on my talking points list for my next doc visit but TBH right now the last thing I want is to be all dressed up with no place to go, so to speak.

Hang in there guys...
