Doctor's answer:

Diabetic patients with poor blood sugar control may experience diabetic autonomic neuropathy again. Male patients may exhibit symptoms such as premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. It is recommended to strictly control diet, ensuring that each meal contains at least 100 grams of staple food. Additionally, appropriate physical activity can be combined with hypoglycemic medications such as metformin, glyburide, or insulin to achieve good blood sugar control. Furthermore, neurotrophic drugs like alpha-lipoic acid and methylcobalamin can be used. For male patients with this condition, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease.
