Kegel exercises, will they work for me and how?

I'm still not really getting orgasms, despite going off those antidepressants. Did some googling, and yes, it looks like my type 2 diabetes can affect it. The source I found suggested kegel exercises, and I'm seeking some advice, any good links on the subject, etc, or if any diabetics here can offer other advice then I'll take that too.

For a reference point: I believe I got a small clitoral orgasm just once maybe a year or so ago, I felt some very satisfying throbbing and twitching for a few seconds. Haven't been able to repeat it. I get wet enough for the dildo to slide in comfortably, and the thrusting and vibrating feels good, but not like, orgasm good. I've noticed if I try when my blood sugar is in the 200s and I feel kinda lethargic because of it, I don't get as wet and my clit won't even start the tingling feeling, or it does but not as easily or as much. I have an appointment to hopefully figure out the frequent high blood sugar thing soon.

Yeah. Advice?

Thanks for all of that, I'm not sure what my hormone levels are, but I'm only 26, will be 27 in a month, so it's probably not that. My diet...I admit could be better...

What are these Youtube subliminals? Youtube doesnt allow porn, so...what?

I don't think it's nerve damage, given as I'm still quite young, I think I might just have tight muscles up in there? What do you think, try kegels?

Okay, that's good to know how kegels work.

The audio though...I often masturbate to visual stimulation on the screen already, what sounds are these exactly? Sexy moaning or some kind of music? Would I have to use it every time?

I'm very basic with porn. Not much other than male solo gets me off, and even then, if he uses E stims or much other than his hands or makes too much noise it's a turn off. I love seeing a handsome hunk hump a transparent inflatable though. I can see everything his rock hard shaft does and every movement, and one of the videos I use, he even cums in it. But if there's a metal ring or anything like that on there? It turns me off because it's not natural enough.

I'm definitely not early menopausal, although my last period was delayed by a month. I'm thinking the diabetes might be the issue here?

My grandmother has type 2 diabetes - and while I've never discussed this exact issue with her, I would urge you to get on top of your high and low blood sugars, as she's often discussed with me that diabetes impedes the blood flow. As blood flow is part of sexual arousal, it makes sense to me to try to improve that as part of the effort.
