Type 2 Diabetes in Men
Type 2 diabetes affects blood sugar control. Over time it can damage blood vessels and nerves. That matters for erections, energy, healing, and heart health.
When to Book
Book a visit if symptoms are new, persistent, getting worse, or affecting daily life. Early evaluation often prevents complications.
Symptoms
Increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, slow healing, and weight change.
Causes & Risk Factors
Obesity, inactivity, family history, prior prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome all raise risk.
How We Evaluate
Evaluation includes A1c, fasting glucose, kidney review, blood pressure, cholesterol, and cardiometabolic risk assessment.
Treatment Options
Treatment often includes nutrition change, activity, weight loss, and medication. Regular monitoring of A1c, kidney function, and cardiovascular risk is important.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for confusion, severe dehydration, vomiting, chest pain, or very high blood sugar.
