Can Diabetes Cause A Testicular Hydrocele?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My husband is a type I diabetic and recently developed a testicular hydrocele. The doctor will not do surgery because my husband's sugar levels were to high. I have two questions: Can diabetes cause a testicular hydrocele? And, can testicular hydroceles cause higher sugar levels? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
