Hello
I can understand your concern
Looking at your history this could be related to STI or UTI which is quite common in diabetics
in my opinion your should consult your GP doctor for examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC liver and thyroid function test , urine for culture and sensitivity test

you may require a course of antibiotics depending upon the clinical findings and lab reports
have plenty of fluids
maintain good hygiene
multivitamins supplements
