Diabetes & low libido..

Afternoon,

Slightly difficult topic for me to post about.. recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Doing the diet and exercise stuff and started on Metformin.

My libido seems to have taken a bit of a nosedive since starting the medication, anyone else had this issue - if so any recommendations?

It is a bit yeah.. however I knew I had to lose weight so it’s given me extra motivation for that.. the weekly shop now lasts twice as long (looking at Kcals and sugar etc) lol.

Thanks for replying. X

I developed diabetes after Covid and it really hit my libido for best part of a year. But the positives are that it does come back

It has that effect can last weeks months or even years. If no other issues Viagra can assist !!!

I could never take metformin instant Tom tits even on slow release struggled with co trolley for years am now on background insulin and I'm getting there libido is still sometimes a problem though. Ed meds work for getting an erection but sometimes struggle to get in the mood.
