Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Diabtes is an important cause behind erectile dysfunction. There are cases where ED pills like Viagra are not effective. However, there are a number of medications which can be used. If one is not effective, another may be tried. Alprostadil can be tried (prescription medicine). Testosterone for hypogonadal men can often help in producing the desired effect. Psychosexual therapy can be helpful. Based on the response a number of alternatives can be tried.
