Effects of "metabolic memory" on erectile function in diabetic men: a retrospective case ‐control study

ConclusionsThe phenomenon of metabolic memory did have a significant influence on ED in men with diabetes, associated with the severity of ED but not the response to medical treatment. Early hyperglycemia exposure would have long ‐term disadvantageous effects on erectile function in diabetic patients with ED, which would be sustained even after the patients achieve better glycemic control.
