Hi,
diabetes does not cause pain but it predispose one to heart disease and blockage so it's possible that it's because of heart disease.
So get your bp, cholesterol check and ecg done. I'd needed go for stress test.
You can have tab Sorbitrate 5 mg sublingually whenever there is pain. you should get yourself examined to rule out other causes of pain
