ED Common in Diabetic Men

Nearly 25% of type 2 diabetic men in the Action for Health in Diabetes study reported having complete erectile dysfunction (ED), according to an article in The Journal of Sexual Medicine (2009;6:1414-1422).

Almost half reported suffering from mild to moderate ED. Older age, higher baseline hemoglobin A_1c, and the presence of hypertension and metabolic syndrome increased ED risk, whereas cardiorespiratory fitness reduced the risk.
