A pin prick like pain in the left side of your chest without any other symptoms like shortness of breath, palpitation, tachycardia, etc is likely to be related to Gastro esophageal reflux or musculoskeletal inflammation - This can be diagnosed if the pain increases on specific movements or on direct pressure on the affected area. as your a diabetic patient kindly do an ECG to rule cardiac disease.
