Erectile dysfunction, metabolic syndrome & type 2 diabetes

Gentlemen, this paper published recently in the journal Urology represents one of many studies linking erectile dysfunction with the hormonal and vascular degeneration associated with insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome (earlier stage) and type 2 diabetes (more advanced). "In our study, the presence of T2DM [type 2 diabetes] was strongly associated with severe ED in patients with MS [metabolic syndrome]. We believe that components of MS should be taken into consideration in the diagnosis and treatment of ED." If you like sex, take care of your blood sugar and insulin receptors.
