a problem with the ability to reach orgasam? My husband just started this medication last week and he can't seem to reach orgasam. He gets an erection just fine. Has anyone else had this problem?

Lantus should have no impact on orgasm... I've taken it for years with no problems there.
However, he might still be adjusting to the change in blood sugars, and it may take several weeks for his body to adjust to the the blood sugars.
Its also possible that he may need more vigorous or longer stimulation... when I first became diabetic, there was a period of time where I could 'go at it' for hours and not orgasm... (I was in much better shape back then).
In the long term, he should return to normal orgasms... and he'll be able to get it up much longer if he keeps his blood sugars stable and within a 'normal' range...
One of the side effects of diabetes is an eventual failure to achieve an erection. Along with nerve damage.
Give it some time, and everything should be fine. If its not in a month - he needs to see his doctor.
Peace,

The nerve 'pathways' used for erection and 'orgasm' are different systems.
Does Your husband have any any other neuropathy in any 'other' area/s-?
Perhaps neuropathy is the 'cause'-?
His doctor/s should be informed of this situation, these types of things are 'normally' very treatable-!
Achieving and sustaining an erection requires
interaction between the neurological, arterial, hormonal,
and psychological functions of the body.
Simply, a lot of different parts have to work right.
Proper hormonal balance, normal sex drive and emotional make up, functioning nerves and blood vessels, and healthy penile tissue are all required.
Libido, the interest in sexual activity, and potency, the ability to perform, must both be present.
Several different sets of nerves are involved.
Erection is a function of the parasympathetic nervous system, but orgasm and ejaculation are controlled by a different set of nerves:
the sympathetic system.
Both orgasm and ejaculation can occur without erection.

Retrograde Ejaculation
Retrograde ejaculation is a condition in which part or all of a man's semen goes into the bladder instead of out the penis during ejaculation.
Retrograde ejaculation occurs when internal muscles, called sphincters, do not function normally.
A sphincter automatically opens or closes a passage in the body. The semen mixes with urine in the bladder and leaves the body during urination, without harming the bladder.
A man experiencing retrograde ejaculation may notice that little semen is discharged during ejaculation or may become aware of the condition if fertility problems arise.
His urine may appear cloudy; analysis of a urine sample after ejaculation will reveal the presence of semen.
Poor blood glucose control and the resulting nerve damage are associated with retrograde ejaculation.
Other causes include prostate surgery or some blood pressure medicines.
Retrograde ejaculation caused by diabetes or surgery may be improved with a medication that improves the muscle tone of the bladder neck.
A urologist experienced in infertility treatments may assist with techniques to promote fertility, such as collecting sperm from the urine and then using the sperm for artificial insemination.

Diabetes does cause problems with sexual function sometimes. I take insulin and pills and i have a very healthy sex life. Some times it is slower than usual. I reccomend you talk to your Dr about this. It will be ok. Hang in there,don't give up//Good Luck

if he takes lantus he has diabetes. diabetes causes erectile problems more often than not. it is not the lantus. he has a disorder that will eventually curtail all sex. make other plans. just a matter of time.

I would recommend he immediately start taking both cayenne & ginko biloba. these two herbs help improve circulation, which will help your husband all around & not just in the bedroom.
