Diabetes and ED are closely connected. High blood sugar levels over time can damage blood vessels and nerves that are important for healthy function. This makes it harder for the body to respond properly, leading to problems. Diabetes can also lower hormone levels and affect blood flow. People with diabetes are more likely to experience these issues, especially if their condition is not well managed. Staying active, eating well, and keeping blood sugar in a healthy range can help. In some cases, medicine may be recommended by a doctor to support better health and wellness.
