as you are diabetc and having fever for 7days , my advise is to admit nearest hospital. i am worrying weather you have an infection in kidneys which is called pyelonephritis. may need to ultra sound scan of abdomen with blood and urine investigatons. you may need antibiotics in injection forms to cure your infection.
