High sugar levels over a period of time can damage your blood vessels and nerves, including those that feed your penis, Diabetes UK said.

Erectile dysfunction

A study published in the Wiley Online Library looked at the high prevalence of erectile dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.

Erectile dysfunction can be common in men with diabetes, but its prevalence is still debated, the study said.

It added, “We wanted to investigate the relative prevalence of erectile dysfunction in diabetes and, from early November 2016 to November 2016, search major databases for studies reporting erectile dysfunction in men with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus .

“The overall prevalence of erectile dysfunction in diabetes was 52.5 percent.

“Erectile dysfunction is common in diabetes and affects more than half of men with the condition and an odd prevalence of about 3.5 times more than controls.”

The study concluded that screening and appropriate intervention are needed in men with erectile dysfunction.
