 AB    To improve diabetes care according to the St. Vincent Declaration an
       interdisciplinary working group on erectile dysfunction in patients with
       diabetes was installed in the Departments of Internal Medicine, Urology
       and Psychiatry at the University of Graz. The screening and basic
       diagnostic procedures are performed in the diabetes clinic in the
       Department for Internal Medicine. To inform the patients about the
       options of treatment of diabetic erectile dysfunction and to determine
       prevalence data an anonymous questionnaire with a pre-stamped envelope
       was sent to 133 male patients with diabetes mellitus type I (IDDM). 59
       (44%) of the questionnaires were returned and could be analyzed. Mean
       age and diabetes duration were representative for the male diabetes
       population. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in this group was
       49%. 7% of the patients were completely impotent. None of the patients
       reported the use of erection aids as a vacuum device or intracavernosal
       injection of smooth muscle-relaxant drugs. The prevalence of erectile
       dysfunction is high among patients with diabetes mellitus type I. Modern
       management offers satisfactory success in most cases, therefore
       screening for erectile dysfunction and adequate therapy should be
       offered to all patients.
