Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction

For men with diabetes, erectile dysfunction (ED)—sometimes called impotence—is a common problem. And because it affects not only men, but also their partners, ED is really a "couples problem."

It is hard to tell whether ED is really more common among men with diabetes than it is among those without diabetes because so many men suffer ED in silence. However, we do know that:

  •  ED is age-related, often developing in men older than 50. Diabetes is also more common in this older age-group.

  •  Men with diabetes tend to develop ED 10–15 years earlier than men without diabetes.

  •  Fifty to sixty percent of all men with diabetes over age 50 have some problem with ED.
