Absolutely, Always: Diabetes mellitus both accelerates progression of atherosclerosis and disease of the capillaries, both compromising blood flow to all areas of the body including the reproductive organs. Additionally, the ability to achieve an erection is fundamentally dependent on the ability to increase arterial blood flow into the penis enough to shut venous flaps. If flow cannot increase enough, no erection.

Yes: Diabetes is associated with erectile dysfunction and low testosterone in some but not all men.
