Apparently, there have been numerous studies linking erectile dysfunction and heart problems together and if you are having problems maintaining an erection, that may be a sign of heart trouble ahead for men with type 2 diabetes.

Like I mentioned, there have been a number of past studies that found the connection between the two but there have been new findings which was recently published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology basically confirming that erectile dysfunction 'often' precedes heart trouble.

There were two studies taken:

The first, Italian researchers found out among 291 men with type 2 diabetes and erectile dysfunction that they had twice the risk of suffering a heart attack, stroke or some sort of cardiovascular complication... over the next four years!

The second study, Hong Kong researchers found that diabetic men with no indications of any heart disease that had erectile dysfunction were 58 percent more likely to die of a heart disease of heart attack.

Honestly, that is very interesting. Personally, I don't have diabetes or suffer from ED but this is definitely a good sign for men or anyone. I mean, you should care about your health and if you can find ways of preventing these types of things, you should acknowledge it from the get go!
