Dear stephenmarecarangel,
Mostly the answer is yes, assuming that your husband has normal sexual performance, and that he has good parameters in his semen analysis.
Even if there is a problem, modern techniques in assisted reproductive techniques can overcome all this.
The good thing is that you are relatively young (30) years, but you should start with a doctor in order not to waste time.
It will be a good start to ask for a semen analysis for your husband after a period of 3-5 days of sexual abstinence.
Finally I wish you get pregnant soon.

Hi,
You are 30/F, your husband is 50 yrs old a known DM, taking treatment. If there is no obvious problem, with all the conditions explained by you both are fit to have a baby.
If you really want to have a baby certain investigations are needed for both of you.
1) Your husband's semen analysis
2) A routine check up of your reproductive system like USG, basic blood and urine analysis and treatment of your menstruation if it is irregular.
Get advise from a gynecologist about what is safe and danger period, and concentrate on the danger priod.
best wishes
