What Causes A Hard Lump On Upper Eyelid In A Type 2 Diabetic Person?

I have had a redish lump on my top eyelid for over 1 week now. I thought it was a sty and I've treated it with a warm rag and it hasn't gone away. Now, there is a hard lump about the size of a pimple on my top eyelid. Does this mean I have lupus or Type 2 Diabetes?

This is a stye which has gone into a stage of cyst formation . It may resolve on its own or may open up to extrude the pus. Rarely required is its removal. Most important is control of diabetes.
