Experience with penile prostheses in the treatment of impotence in diabetic men.

Increasing use of penile prostheses to treat impotence in diabetic men warrants a detailed assessment of functional and subjective outcomes within this group. This study uses record review and patient-partner questionnaire techniques to examine this population and evaluate postoperative satisfaction in terms of changes in patterns of sexual activity, health status, and complication rates. The satisfaction rates among patients and partners were 81% and 83%, respectively. Frequency of sexual activity was increased, and physical enjoyment was improved among satisfied recipients. Most postoperative complications were treatable and led to dissatisfaction only if they were irreparable. Most prostheses are therefore being used successfully. We recommend that impotent diabetic men be informed of the availability of prosthetic implants.

Diet and diabetes mellitus.

Optimal control of any stage of diabetes is possible only with optimal dietary management. Furthermore, in 90% of stable patients who comply with regimens like those described, this dietary approach alone will suffice for control.

Increased incidence of type I diabetes in children of older mothers.

Analysis of chart data in a large series of patients with juvenile-onset, type I diabetes shows a highly significant (P less than 0.001) increased incidence in the children born to older mothers. Diabetes was also much more frequent in the late-birth-order siblings, and this appears to be an alternative expression of advanced maternal age. This observation suggests that there may be a subset of children who eventually develop type I diabetes and are at increased risk by virtue of being born to older mothers.
