Hello,

Diabetes is a autoimmune disease and it also involves other endocrine organs like thyroid.

So it is advisable to do a thyroid function test and screen for any thyroid related diseases.

It also place an important role in controlling diabetes.

Regarding the redness and swelling of the eye eye and the lids may be due to dryness and allergy.
Consult an Ophthalmologist.
