There are drugs such as cialis, viagra and the like that can help you, but really, the only "cure" for DM related impotence is control of the disease. Diabetes causes impotence by slowly killing small peripheral nerves. This is also why many diabetics lose feeling in their feet. Again, the only remedy is controlling your diabetes.
If it's too late for that or medication doesn't help, there are surgical options such as penis prostheses (an inflatable device implanted within your penis to produce erections) but that's probably not what you'd like to resort to.
So go to your endocrinologist, take your diabetes meds, lose weight, check your sugars and take care of your disease!

^ Not a cure per say, but keeping your glucose (sugar) levels under control can help.
Your doctor can prescribe medication for impotence. Don't take anything including over the counter remedies without your doctors knowledge, it might interact with your other medications.
I have listed two sites that can go into more detail, I hope this helps. Good Luck.

The main thing you need to do is to keep your blood sugars in control. People are talking about viagra..... I dont think you have a problem getting it up, but being able to father children. The most thing that you can do i take your glucose tests at a minimun of 4 times a day. Take it when you dont feel right. Just be responsible with your control and you should have any more problems. When your sugars are out of control your body starts shuting down the 'non' important things to feed the brain.
good-luck!
