Table 1. Studies investigating the relationship between T1DM, T2DM, PreDM, and PE in men.

Study Year Definition of PE Disorder PE prevalence Results
El-Sakka [38] 2003 The persistent or recurrent inability to voluntarily delay ejaculation either upon or shortly after penetration or with minimal sexual stimulation. T2DM 50 years old ↓ 32.4%
50 years old ↑ 67.6%
Long diabetes duration, poor glycemic control, and the presence of ED increased risk of PE
Corona et al [45] 2004 PE was defined as ejaculation within 1 minute of vaginal intromission (as reported by the patient) PreDM, T2DM 28.4% There was no relationship between PE and FBS.
Basile Fasolo et al [40] 2005 DMS-IV T2DM 21.2% Decreased PE in those treated for T2DM
Owiredu et al [36] 2011 GRISS T2DM 56.6% Testosterone levels were negatively correlated with FBS, HbA1C, short IELT, weight, and WC.
Bellastella et al [42] 2015 PEDT T1DM 24% PE prevalence in T1DM same as control. PEDT score was strongly associated with LBGI
Majzoub et al [39] 2016 AIPE T2DM 60.2% LPE and APE were higher, and mean IELT was lower, in patients with T2DM compared to controls.
Salama et al [21] 2017 PEDT PreDM 35.2% Higher PEDT, higher FBS
Bolat et al [46] 2017 PEDT PreDM - PEDT score higher, IELT score lower in PE
