The mean blood glucose at young was 18 mmol/l with HbA1c at 9%. Only 20% had a normal sex life. Erectile dysfunction is found in 72% of cases; it is severe in 8% of patients, moderate in 12% of cases, mild to moderate in 22% of cases and mild in 30% of cases. Concerns are all the more frequent as the diabetic disease is old, and especially poorly controlled, 77% of poorly controlled diabetics are subject to erectile disorders against 64% for those whose pathology is under control. According to the Beck Scale (BDI), 54% of our patients had experienced a feeling of sadness, of which 14% were unable to cope.

Only 25% of nurses are interested in the psychological side of diabetics with erectile dysfunction, of which 70% encourage them to consult a psychiatric hospital.
