Brief Answer:
Can be managed------------------------------------
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to the forum.
Erection occurs due to combination of complex mental, neurological and vascular phenomenon.
The older the person gets the erection usually is not as good as before due to vascular disease.
The reasons i understand in your case is diabetes.
Diabetes, as you might be aware, is a vascular disease which damages the blood vessel walls. As a result coronary events and erectile dysfunction are quite common.
Since diabetes is not curable , things that could help you are.
1. Strict control of sugar levels.
2. Regular exercise , about 30 minutes 5 times a week.
3. Light food before having sex.
4. Supplementation of L- Arginine , which is a pre-cursor for nitric oxide that causes the opening up of the blood vessels for normal erection.
5. Erection enhancing medicines like sildenafil or its derivatives.
Hope this helps, Kindly get back for doubts if any,
Sincerely,
