While I agree with Annie you can also expect the answer is generally yes. As well smoking, poor diet (and uncontrolled diabetes) and a lack of exercise will definitely combine with the diabetes and lead to early erectile disfunction. Tell him he won't have to worry about a low sperm count when he can't even get it up for the job. Ask him how he would like that inevitable outcome if he continues with an uncontrolled lifestyle.
