Sure there are tons and tons, it should be easy. But first he should try oysters and mussels in case he is deficient in zinc or manganese. Since he's diabetic it could be B vitamins too, found by eating large amounts of whole grains or bran. Give them a couple months to have an effect.
For testosterone get 100:1 tongkat ali and 50% saponin fenugreek extract. Start with a little, maybe 500 mg each, and increase as needed. Soreness in balls or thighs is a sign it's working, but he can cut back if it's too much. For libido find a catuaba extract equivalent to 5-20 grams, to increase the mental effects of dopamine. Or make tea from a lot of whole powder (2 tsp. to 3 tbsp.) and strain it. There is also 2-5 grams mucuna pruriens, which contains L-dopa which becomes real dopamine. It would be better to rely on catuaba though than to mess with real dopamine, unless he has almost no dopamine effect left to increase. Then maybe he could use catuaba with a little MP. And a little MP extract is way stronger than whole MP so watch out. Never use 99% L-dopa MP extracts in any amount, they're missing the non L-dopa parts to balance it out. If he tests high for prolactin then maybe he could use more MP, and possibly 500 mg or more vitex too (but more than 500 mg doesn't help or hurt). Note that if combining 2 or 3 of these they add up and dosages for MP and catuaba go down except in major cases. But vitex shouldn't go under 500 mg. Under ~125 mg could decrease dopamine instead.
Testosterone may take a few days. Dopamine may take a few minutes. But testosterone seems like his main issue.
HGW is for erections and requires a ton anyway; if it's not an extract it's useless b/c you practically need a whole salad. Yohimbe is a caffeine-like stimulant that keeps the genitals going. Likewise not directly related to libido and has all the problems caffeine does, if not more. A minimum of 3 grams maca does help a little for libido.
