Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted you are diabetic and facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction since last 6 years .

The problem of Erectile Dysfunction that you are facing is secondary to Diabetes and is due to
1) Diabetic Vasculitis which leads to narrowing of arteries carrying blood to erectile tissue in penis
2) Diabetic Neuritis involving nerves that trigger erectile process by carrying signals form the brain to arterioles in penis .

You can try taking Cialis (Tadalfil) 2 mg once daily and 5-10 mg one hour before on the day of planned sexual activities

To be true there are no medications that can cure and hep to improve your erectile function .

Thanks Dr XXXXXXX for true advice, attempt was to rejuvenate if possible.
No issue, I will forget for this life happily.
Sexual activity was not the sole motive, hormonal and testerone was anxiety.
Thanks and regards
