Guys named Ed probably don't feel honored to
have one of the most devastating complications of diabetes named after
then. But erectile dysfunction -- or just ED for short -- is both
personally ego-destroying and all too common. At least they don't say nowadays that ED is the same as impotence.From...
Curing Erectile Dysfunction

As a type 2 diabetic who's also had prostate cancer, I'm not sure you can always cure ED. I had my prostate removed by surgery. Unfortunately, because of the extent of the cancer, my surgeon was unable to save the nerves governing erections. I can get very limited erectile function with an injection, but the available oral pharmaceuticals have no effect. So it's no my diabetes that's the problem, but an absense of the necessary nerves. I doubt I'll live long enough for any regeneration.
Still, your advice should be encouraging for others whose ED is a result of diabetes complications alone.

Thank you David, for pointing out some of the things that can help ED patients from a cure rather than a treatment perspective. For those patients who still need help with treatments, particularly if their choice is injections, I would recommend using an injection device called Inject-Ease from Palco Labs. While it was designed for use with insulin injections, many patients use it today for ED (same sized syringes). If you have to inject, it should be easy and less painful if possible.
Thanks.

Thanks Ken. I have overcome my ED with over the counter suppliments. There are plenty out there, I started with a drug called "Rize 2 the occasion" that I found at my local vitamin shop. The product I use now is just called "HARD." The name alone screams "hukster" but I gave it a try and experienced fantastic results. Check out their site at http://hard.njoynow.com

Thank you. I apparently misheard Dr. Bernstein (although there is such a thing as anatomic neuropathy, according to a review of the literature). After getting your message, I reviewed his book and see that he did talk there about autonomic neuropathy and not about anatomic neuropathy. So I just changed the article accordingly.
