Taking Viagra When ED is Caused by Diabetes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Erectile dysfunction is common in men with diabetes. Diabetes slows blood flow and damages nerve endings, both of which make it difficult to get an erection. In addition, some men with diabetes have low testosterone, which also contributes to sexual problems.<\/p>\n

Viagra is effective for many diabetic men<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since Viagra hit the marketing back in 1998, men with diabetes have used it to deal with ED. Studies show about 50 percent of men with Type 1 diabetes have improved erections, and 60 percent of men with Type 2 diabetes have success with the little blue pill.<\/p>\n

While those statistics are encouraging, it does leave a large pool of men with diabetes that are left to deal with erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n

Why Viagra may not work in some men with diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\n

What keeps Viagra from taking effect in some men? There’s a variety of reasons. Let’s take a look at a few.<\/p>\n

In some cases, a higher dose may be needed. Talk with your doctor about upping the dose before concluding that Viagra doesn’t work for you.<\/p>\n

Viagra won’t work well if a high-fat meal is consumed before it’s taken. So, watch what you eat before taking Viagra.<\/p>\n

Viagra won’t work unless you’re sexually stimulated. Many men assume that as soon as the pill is swallowed an erection springs up. That’s not the case. The pill takes between 30 minutes to an hour to work, and you must be sexually stimulated.<\/p>\n

If you don’t think Viagra is working for you, you should talk with your doctor about alternative options. Most doctors encourage their patients to take Viagra at least four times before moving on to another treatment option. Why four times? Sometimes anxiety gets in the way, and can keep men from getting an erection. By trying the medication four times, men can make a fair judgment on its effectiveness.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, talk with your doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
