Abstract
Six-hundred African diabetic patients were examined; 31% had peripheral neuropathy and 2% autonomic neuropathy. They were older and had had diabetes longer (p1 levels, was poorer (pp<0.001) than the diabetic population. Impotence was commoner in diabetic men than controls, mainly in association with neuropathy and the use of hypotensive drugs.Keywords
