    Sexuality used to be a taboo in many cultures and people who suffer from sexual problems were embarrassed to report their sexual complaints to their physicians, most of whom were also embarrassed to discuss these issues with their patients. The launch of sildenafil (Viagra) in 1998 revolutionized our understanding on male sexual problems and men became more open to talk about their sexuality. On the other hand, female sexual disorders remain to be elusive and there are limited data on this topic due to the complex nature of female sexuality.

    With its increasing prevalence in every continent diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Today, there is huge interest within the scientific community to ameliorate the complications caused by diabetes and its various treatments. Although, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney failure, retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy have been widely investigated, physicians also recognize that there are sexual problems prevalent in diabetic men and women. Unfortunately, some of the diabetologist still underestimate the sexual health issues of diabetic patients, which is associated with significant decrease in patients' quality of life. However, health care professionals must remember that for some having a good sexual performance and happy relationship is much more important than regulating their blood sugar or reducing their HbA1C levels.
