Diabetic Patient, Using AmaryIm Along With Galvus Vildagliptin, Losing Interest In Sex
Dear Doctor, I am a diabetic patient for the last 10 years and using AmarylM2mg/500mg along with Galvus vildagliptin 50mg in the morning and night. I am an NRI in the middle east and I consume 2 peg of whiskey every day. My sugar level in the empty stomach comes in the range of 120-160 and after breakfast 170-220. Also I started loosing interest in sex. Do you think I should change the medicine and need to change my lifestyle. Regards, PKKN

Hello,
Uncontrolled diabetes,associated cardiovascular problems and hypertension,chronic alcoholism,sedentary life,obesity,psychological stress etc all contribute towards erectile dysfunction and loos of libido.
Treatment lies in meticulous control of diabetes,blood pressure and cholesterol levels along with regular physical exercises and mental relaxation by yoga and meditation.In addition you can take drugs like VIAGRA and CIALIS but after consulting your doctor.
