Hi thanks for posting query
Pain in chest and abdomen should raise the possibility of coronary artery disease and angina especially when occur in diabetic person. However diverticulitis can give similar pain but should be kept second possibility.

Kindly get first ECG/EKG after consulting doctor if he thinks based on ECG and character of pain he will decide to get cardiac enzymes level and further workup for cronary artery disease. Surgery should be deferred till this issue is fixed. Of sugar control is mandatory in any condition.
Hope this information help you. Take care
