Dear Patient,
Since you apparently are having diabetes and art. hypertension:
before you take any of the ED meds you need to have a checkup on your heart function like an EKG (general practitioner) and possibly an ultrasound of the heart (cardiologist). If the overall heart function is ok then both Viagra or Cialis are ok to take. Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
