Well viagra for a start but type 2s can improve their health if they lose weight, keep the blood sugar down, exercise etc.
Unfortunately it's hard to say without knowing about his physical condition more and what drugs he's own but I guess the first stop would be his GP.

Do you miss it and want it? Some people have a sexless relationship and it’s ok. Others don’t, I suppose it depends on what you want?

Does your dh want to get his 'virility' back?

I have type 2 diabeties but it doesn't affect my sex life. What affected my sex life more was that I went off the boil and lost interest (I am female). After two kids and lots of fertility treatment, I kind of went off sex. Now, after a year I've been very much back on it by sheer act of will (wanting to want it). I found the more I did it the more I wanted to do it. We are not at it like rabbits but it's up from 1-2 times a week (more like 1) to 2-3 times a week.

I think if your OH wants to get his mojo back, he will work with you to get help and find a way. Thanks

Can you be satisfied with just oral sex and fondling perhaps?

Do you like him enough to stay even if the sex didn't return? That's something to figure out first.

Without meaning to sound crude, I'm guessing you mean penatrative sex? I have v low sex drive and DP's seems to be even lower. I have no desire to have children anytime soon, so this isn't a dealbreaker. However, aftter 7 years I am starting to miss any kind of intimacy though, so it is worth considering what your 'guidelines' are.

Losing weight will improve things. ED is an indicator that the diabetes is not being controlled properly.
