I am 60 years old in a few months. Have not had successful erection to ejaculation in approximately 12 years. Diabetic, and low testosterone. Treating both medically.
Is the diabetes just plain going to prevent erections again, regaddless of whether I get the Testosterone back?

In sex, I never say “never.” But considering your diabetes and your history, it sounds unlikely that your future holds more than weak, transient semi-firmness. That’s a drag, of course, but it does NOT mark the end of your sex life.
First, you don’t need an erection to experience orgasm. That’s right, in an erotic context, with enough stimulation of your penis by hand and/or mouth, men can have orgasms and ejaculate without erections. In addition, there are plenty of ways to enjoy hot, sweet, fulfilling lovemaking without intercourse. After around 60, most couples let go of intercourse because it becomes too problematic. Men develop erection issues, and even with the drugs, intercourse is often difficult if not impossible. And older women develop vaginal dryness and atrophy, which makes intercourse uncomfortable or impossible, even with lubricant.
The solution? Sex without intercourse, but with lots of kissing, cuddling, mutual whole-body massage, and genital caresses by hand, mouth, and/or sex toys. For more on this, read the article Great Sex Without Intercourse.
