It is very common in diabetics, you should control diabetes strictly. Also reduce stress / anxiety. For other physical causes you need to do blood tests hb, tc, dc, prolactin, tsh and testosterone. Stop smoking if you smoke. Check bp. If you are taking any medicine on regular basis (except for diabetes) then it may be due to side effect of that.
