He can talk about everything under the sun related to IT and its applications.

However, talk about his personal life, and he abruptly changes the topic. He avoids any discussion that, his old parents bring up, concerning marriage. While they are keen to see him settled, he always refuses offers of marriage on flimsy grounds. He rejected the last proposal. Why, because he felt the girl was too short. His sister suspects that he has a secret - he is gay. But, Osmond doesn't have just one secret, he has two.

Osmond is a Diabetic. Now, that's secret no 1. He didn't tell his parents, as he felt they would be very worried about him. He made the chance discovery 2 years ago, when he suddenly started losing weight and was always very tired. A simple blood test confirmed the suspicions of his family physician. He probably had diabetes for quite some time and now it had progressed to such a level that he needed to take anti-diabetic drugs. He had to at least pop these pills four times in a day. That's when he discovered secret no. 2.

Rajiv and his friends regularly go out for a drink every weekend. That weekend his friends prodded him to visit the local strip bar. While his friends loaded themselves with whisky, he settled for a mocktail. That's when he made a startling discovery. Despite being sexually stimulated to the utmost with what was on display. He found that he had just no erection. He couldn't believe he had an impotence problem.

Shocked, he struggled through the evening and could not sleep the whole night. The very next day, he made an emergency appointment with his doctor. He was sent for a few tests. The doctor then calmly informed him, that he had a very common problem among Diabetic men - Erectile Dysfunction.

Men diagnosed with diabetes have 3 times the likelihood of having erectile disfunction. What is most shocking is the fact that 50% of diabetic men will develop erectile dysfunction within 10 years of diagnosis and male impotence is extremely difficult to treat in these men. Normally erectile dysfunction occurs in 50% of men above 50 years of age. It occurs at least 10 to 15 years earlier in men with diabetes.

There are many reasons for Erectile Dysfunction to occur in diabetics. These include damage to the nerves and blood vessels as the levels of glucose build up. If the nerves are damaged they can prevent adequate blood flow to the penis that ensures an erection. There can also be a disruption in the nerve signals sent to the penis. Men with diabetes also suffer from low testosterone levels and nitric oxide syntheses essential for ensuring and sustaining and erection. In addition, these men most often take other medications to deal with high blood pressure, anxiety and ulcers, which also affect the erectile function Osmond tried all kinds of conventional therapies for male impotence, but they just don't work in diabetics. He searched the internet everyday for news of anything new to deal with his impotence problem.

Just when, he felt that he had no hope, came the news of the PROVEN Study in which a new impotence drug called Levitra was being tested. It was a study carried out in 138 men who were classified as having diabetes based on medical history, their lab test values and medications taken by them.

Men with diabetes were able to get erections required for a successful intercourse in 33% of the attempts when they took Levitra, as compared to just 13% who were given nothing. In addition, 58% of the men with diabetes were able to get a better erection with Levitra as compared to those taking a placebo. This study clearly showed the benefit of Levitra in treating erectile dysfunction in treating a very difficult patient population - Men with Diabetes.

Levitra is the research product of Bayer, Glaxo Smithkline Beecham and Schering Plough that contains the drug Vardenafil. It was launched in August 2003 and has benefited thousands of diabetic men all over the world.
