Diabetes and erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common problem amongst men who have diabetes. Some sources indicate anywhere between 35 and 75 per cent of men suffering from diabetes will experience some degree of erectile dysfunction (erection problems) over the course of their lifetime.
Men who have diabetes are thought to develop ED between 10 and 15 years earlier than men who do not suffer from the disease. As men facing diabetes age, erectile dysfunction becomes more common. Over the age of 70, there is a 95 per cent likelihood of facing difficulties with erectile function.

"The response is more than we expected," said Dr. Rick Glowacki, a urologist with the Iowa Clinic. "I think if nothing else, it gives them a forum to hear about it and gives them some privacy. It's a situation where they can just sit there and listen."
Because erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer become more common as men get older, Glowacki said, doctors expect to see an increase in cases as baby boomers age.Erectile dysfunction affects 15 to 30 million men in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health. Most prostate cancer patients are in their 60s and 70s, but there are also men in their 40s and 50s dealing with the disease, Glowacki said.
