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 |

Got diagnosed with Type 2 just before the first lockdown.....bit of a bugger as picked up a new puppy the day before lockdown, lack of socialising etc).
Did much the same, weight loss, change of diet, Metformin etc., with the same results. All good now  |

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. |
