Important Questions and Answers About Penis Pumps which are
commonly used to treat Diabetic Impotence
How does a penis pump work?
A penis pump is a device that builds up the size and width of
the penis by increasing the blood flow to the shaft and tip of the
penis to force the chambers inside the penis to expand. By
increasing the blood to the penis and keeping the increased volume
there, the chambers will slowly ’stretch’ or expand to accommodate
the sudden increase of blood. As a result, penis enlargement occurs.
How do penis pumps work to help men who suffer from erectile
dysfunction?
By keeping the penis in a heightened state of arousal and pulling
blood into the shaft, the muscles of the penis are enlarged and
strengthened. The muscle tissue expands to the maximum, breaks down,
and then rebuilds into larger and stronger muscles.

The male erection involves a very complicated interaction of many of
the body’s systems. The natural erection process can be interrupted
by many underlying disease states and/or conditions. The most common
underlying causes or Erectile Dysfunction are: Diabetes,
Hypertension, and Vascular Disease & Drug Interaction. All men who
have ED are strongly urged to consult a physician before continuing
with treatment. Medicare and most insurance cover the cost of vacuum
therapy.
After talking with a physician and determining the underlying cause
of your ED, you may choose to explore the benefits of vacuum
therapy. Negative Pressure mimics the body’s natural function and
produces an almost instant erection. In fact, vacuum therapy is
predictable, reliable, and covered by Medicare and most insurance.

It is extremely disturbing to learn that you have a chronic health
condition. Type 2 diabetes is very prevalent in the United States,
affecting an estimated 17 million people. If you are newly diagnosed

patients find it beneficial to speak to two or three doctors before
deciding choosing one. Since you’ll be depending on this physician
for the long haul, find a doctor whose personality you like and

I am new to this group.
As a gerontologist, I enjoy sharing my expertise in issues related
to aging with people throughout the world. In my research, I have
found that people with diabetes are often non compliant because they
get bored with the standard diabetic diet and want to revert back
recipes that seem more appealing.
It is no secret that Diabetics need carefully controlled, well-
balanced meals. But that doesn’t mean they have to be limited to the
same dull thing over and over. With a little effort and creativity,
meals can be fun, nutritious, and delicious.With the permission of
the moderator, I’d like to share some delicious sugar-free foods
with the group.
Happy eating!

Dear,
Once again; I am on the board to intimate further progress on
reduction of Insulin dose to my son (who is type 1 diabetic) under
strict medical supervision.
First of all; sorry to all the members whose direct messages I
couldn’t respond because being a member of total 138 Diabetes Groups,
it is not possible for me to respond individually at present and also
Group rules does not permit me to do so. Again, extremely sorry for
that.
This time, after a long period of 10 days, on 08th June 2004, my
doctor reduce the daily dose of insulin to my son from 16 units a day
(8 units at noon & 8 units at evening) to 12 units at noon before
lunch ONLY. No insulin injections before Dinner as earlier! Great
relief to my son as he has been moved from 2 daily shots to a single
shot daily! Really, God is great!

Dear,
Thank you so much for your e-mail reply regarding my sons illness.
Thanks a lot for the information provided by you. It is very important for me
and for my whole family as here, in India; we lack such type of latest
information in the particular field that is IDDM (Diabetes Type 1).
I really understand that time is the best healer of all the problems. I also
understand that most of the diabetes medicines I read about, which are taken
orally, are for Type Two diabetics & will not be helpful for my son, who is a
Type One diabetic. He gets his blood sugar tests thrice a day & carries some
form of glucose with him at all time!
I would like to inform you that I am trying some Indian Herbal medicines since
17th May 2004 as advised by an Aayurved Expert here in India without
discontinuing the insulin injections to my son & his daily blood sugar tests.
Till 16th May 2004, before starting the Indian Herbal medicines, my son was
regularly given 35 units of insulin (20 units at noon & 15 units at evening)

Hello,
I am residing in India (Gujarat). My 13 yrs old son recently
