People can speak of morality, commitment and religion in regards to sexual impotence, but the wise person should blame the doctor if a person truly needs insulin and the doctor fails him or her. Several factors indicate the need for insulin, including bleeding gums, sudden impotence, diarrhea, sudden weight gain and excessive weight loss. Of course, many do not want to take insulin, but again marriage is about “Us,” so no one has a right to act selfish and allow some diabetic to suffer. In fact, doctors should be sued for not prescribing insulin and that legal case should be in regards to lost affection.

Sex is a vitally important area in marriage, so it’s worth facing this situation head-on. Your husband needs to get a complete physical, even though he may feel too embarrassed to tell his physician what the problem is. Don’t assume stress is causing your husband’s impotency; a physical disorder such as diabetes mellitus or a hormonal imbalance are possibilities that need to be ruled out,” according to an article in Today’s Christian Woman.
