Abstract:
This study set out to determine whether there has been an
increase in awareness of ED amongst men with diabetes
following the introduction of oral therapy and whether
there is an association between ED and QoL. Current perceptions of 157 men with diabetes were compared with the results of a 1997 survey. Those who reported ED (66/157) completed a questionnaire
assessing the impact of ED on QoL. Patients are more
aware of ED now than in 1997; more treatments are now
offered in primary care. The results demonstrated a weak, but significant, association between awareness of therapy (represented by the number of treatments of which patients were aware) and QoL. Patients who were aware of treatments had a significantly worse QoL than those who were unaware
