Hi,
Thanks for your query.
One of the commonest cause for orbital edema started acutely is allergic reaction. Tab Benadryl would suffice for such a cause.
Also, keeping you being Diabetic in mind I would recommend a evaluation of renal and liver well being. I suggest you to get Renal profile and liver function tests done. This may give clue if the cause for the orbital edema is pathological.
