Hi,
First, in diabetes such issues may indicate serious infections and you should see doctor, however most common this is caused by epididimitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age.
This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually Ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequences. Masturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Wish you a good health.
Kindly regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
