Deffintly make sure that you are checking in with your pcp or endocrinologist.... not to sound vain... but losing weight can help.. it comes down to basic anatomy. DM puts strain on your heart... weight is a huge huge factor with DM.. about how you break down sugars and so forth. anyways your heart pumps your blood, well erections is just that blood flow to your penis. the less "weight" "stress" your heart has to do the better. Its like blowing up a ballon. Imaging that you are trying to blow up a ballon with a dish towel laying on top of it...its hard, then take off the towel and its no big deal... samething with your body.. the weight lost will help the DM also . DM and high blood pressure are the only two disease that effect every cell in your body either directly or indirectly...hope this helps. sorry dont mean to write so much, but I am DM Educator
