I knew my being over weight was having some effect on my sex life. Now I found out I'm dibetic. It appears that diabetes can cause some E.D. issues. Coupling that with me being in my fifties and things become clearer. I need to see my urologist and maybe my regular doc too. If diabetes and low testosterone are the problem then I might have a chance for things to improve. I would love to hear if anyone else has dealt with similar challenges.

I'm not diabetic but did have low T and ED that was diagnosed several years ago at the age of 50. Since then I've been doing bi monthly injections and I felt like a new man. At the same time started exercising, cardio and weight lifting which really improved my health and outlook.

Never to late to start!

Thanks but I have arthritis too. I have to address what exercises I am able to do with bad knees and a worse back. This is all just starting to come together for me. I hope I am healthier very soon with improved diet and approved exercise. Again thanks for your input.

Taking T is no free ride though. There is an increase risk of heart attacks. That's where exercising comes.

A side effect for me is elevated levels of hemoglobin. So the doctor ordered me to donate blood once a month to keep it in check, and it's working.
