AB  - Impotence in diabetic men is usually considered to be due to neuropathic factors or vascular insufficiency. However, factors unrelated to diabetes may occasionally produce sexual dysfunction in these patients. Recently, a diabetic patient presented to our clinic with the complaint of impotence. In this patient, macroprolactinemia was discovered. With appropriate therapy, the sexual dysfunction improved and this case is reported here.
