Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Diabetes raises the risk of infection and glaucoma, among other things, either of which could possibly be the cause of one eye becoming red and painful. If this occurs, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
