tendonitis is not linked to diabetes. Take a calcium and magnesium tablet 500mg twice daily. This will help relax the muscles. You can apply a heating pad to the knee for twenty minutes in the time. Afterward apply an analgesic cream. This should help with the pain.
A chiropractor is an excellent doctor for this type of problem. I've enclosed a link were you can find a chiropractor in your area .

No diabetes link.
Go to wizkid's Q on tendonitis in shoulder and read judetnu's answer.
Can take a while to recover but maybe chiropractor can help
- and support yor arm in collar and cuff or just on pillow when sitting so arm is not pulling on shoulder.
I wouldn't take Ibuprofen for too long (ulcer) especially with your diabetes (increased risk over LONG-term of heart attack/stroke) - the few weeks shouldn't matter.
Good luck.

No link between it and diabetes. Physio or local injection may help. Go back and see your GP.
