Brief Answer: Sildenafil is a good drug Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. You have mentioned that you have diabetes but you have not stated whether the sugars are under control. Raised sugars are one of the main reasons for the erectile dysfunction. Raised sugars for a long time can lead to neuropathy which in turn can cause erectile dysfunction. So in short the first step should be good control of sugars if they are not under control. If even after control if the problem persists then Tab Sildenafil is a good drug for erectile dysfunction if taken 1 hour before having sex. I generally prescribe my patients 50mg of it when required but health care magic being an online platform, I wont be able to prescribe you without physically examining you. I would suggest you to discuss about this pill with your local doctor who can prescribe you the same. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy Wish you good health, Kind regards Dr. Srikanth Reddy M.D. Psychiatrist and Sexologist
