When a man is sexually aroused, a chemical called nitric oxide is released into his bloodstream. This chemical relaxes the arteries and muscles of the penis, allowing better blood flow to the penis. This makes it easier for men to get and maintain an erection.

At the same time, a man suffering from diabetes is troubled by the fluctuations in his blood glucose level. Therefore, when blood glucose levels are high, there is less nitric oxide production. Due to this, the flow of blood in the male's penis does not happen in a better way, due to which it becomes difficult to get or maintain an erection. According to the study, the level of nitric oxide is found to be low in men suffering from diabetes.
