Just as thousands of female diabetics suffer from frequent, agonizing yeast infections, male diabetics, too, experience trouble in their nether regions, in the form of impotence. This is likely due to lowered testosterone levels that male diabetics experience. Low levels of this 'male' hormone also occur in conjunction with other illnesses such as obesity, high blood pressure, and asthma.

Researchers found more than a third of men aged 45 and over had low testosterone levels, and the odds of having low testosterone was much higher among those with chronic health problems.

They say the results suggest that common, age-related, chronic health problems in older men may mask underlying low testosterone levels and negatively affect their quality of life.

An improvement in general health often improves performance in the bedroom, too. Along with changes in diet and exercise, there are many ways to naturally raise testosterone levels. Some good information on this can be found
