Well our diabetes instructor said that it was high blood sugars that caused

this problem, so I would think the best thing you can do to help him is help

keep his sugars in check to help the physical problem. But on how to get him to

know you love him more, I would not push the issue of sex for awhile, and do

more things that are just romantic, such as bathing together with candles,

snuggling up and listening to music etc. Also counsleing might help.

He should discuss the matter with a urologist who has had experience

with helping diabetic men. Unless there has been significant nerve

damage 'down there', getting his sugar under tight control should help

matters.
