But when diabetes strikes this nerve ending is affected, and as it goes with erection even a single stimulus less will not allow a proper erection thus leading to impotence. Then there are also other parameters like improper muscle control and problems in the blood vessels.

This has become a major cause of concern for people because diabetes is a very common disease affecting almost every other person and a majority of males.
