Diabetes Meds taking away my sex drive help!!!

[robjeremy]

I have just recently been diagnosed as being type II diabetic. The put me on Metformin and now my sex drive is just gone. I don't think about it like I used to and I don't get wood all through out the day like I used to. It's really worrying me.

Anyone else go through this and is there anything I can do to recover my sex drive.?

Hi Rob,

It might be partly psychological, but any med, including metformin, which I am on too, can affect your libido. By lowering your average blood sugar, though, it should actually HELP with your erection quality, etc. because you are getting a better blood flow to the extremities, which diabetes inhibits.

I suggest you just recommit to the basic jelqing, kegeling routine and forget about the stretching, which doesn't help with getting good woodies. Throw in some extra edging sessions as well. You might also add some natural remedies to your diet if you haven't already, such as green tea and omega 3 fish oil. These two will help improve your circulation. Better circulation means better, more frequent woodies. Better, more frequent woodies will certainly improve your sex drive.

Thanks, I'm glad some one else knows about this.

I'm going to get started on that routine right away.

Metformin shouldn't be taking away your sex drive unless your blood sugar is getting too low and you're just feeling lethargic. It could be the way the drug is interacting with your food. Does your doc have you on a specific diet as well?

 

[Hi_I_AM_neW19]

Ask the doctor this:
Doc,can i take Ginseng,Ginkgo Biloba,Tribulis,?
Take zinc,magnesium,vitamin e...only that will turn back your testeron and sexual drive,i know because i was on therapy which contains anti-depressives and the side effects is similar with that medications for diabetis.If u want i will make a recept for u...if u wish

Ya I'm just on a regular Diabetic Diet. I was on the diet before the metformin but with in about 2 weeks of taking the metformin my sex drive crashed. I feel like I'm 7 years old again, just zero sex drive :-(

Is it possible that your blood sugar levels are getting too low? This happens sometimes on diabetic diets especially when meds are introduced. This can cause lethargy and a lack of drive.
