I agree completely! Diabetes alone isn't necessarily a disability; but, the damnable complications are what will cause a body to have problems. As mentioned by Cora. I've been on Social security disability for about 15 years and on insulin for over 40 years. I don't feel low blood sugar reactions. I've been taken to the hospital because of it several times. I am careful but sometimes it drops so fast and so low, I'm completely unaware of them. Without my wife near I may eventually find myself dead because of them. I have also had a coronary, I have neuropathy in both feet and often have infections in them. These are my problems and live with them; but, who would hire me?

I have had been a diabetic for over 40 years and suffer from ED for the last 15 years. I did all of the suggestions, vacuum pump, injections, meds, eventually they all stop working. I now have a penile implant that I can keep it up for days on end.
It's a fact, he has to get some mental help also. It's a tough thing to get under control but it can be controlled and hopefully it isn't to late for him to be able to satisfy you and himself.View Thread
