Erection? Sorry to be direct...
Yes... but that is in a long term... because our genital regions
are supplied by autonomic nerve supply... Diabetes will affect
three microvascular areas, the nerve, the eyes and the kidneys...
these are the three main components where it is affected... if you
maintain good control, you will not have any problems...
Glucose in diabetes as explained earlier is not used up, hence fat
is broken down and these excess fat are converted and broke down so
that the body can use it... these fats and glucose gets accumulated
in small blood vessels which leads to narrowing and constriction
(explaining why in diabetic patients, there will be high risk of
heart attack, foot ulcers, or stroke)...
When occlusion occurs, the nerve that is supplied by the blood
vessel will die out... hence you will have E.D. among other
things... diabetic foot ulcers are also caused by pure destruction
of blood vessels and aggravated by peripheral loss of sensation
(nerve destruction)...
