Brief Answer:
Most probably sinusitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your symptoms are suggesting sinusitis(infection of sinuses). Sinuses maintain normal pressure of skull. If they get infected then normal pressure is not maintained. As a result such symptoms appear. I would suggest you to visit hospital and get Xray-PNS done. take x-ray to an ENT specialist. he will examine you in detail and will check the x-ray. afterwards he will prescribe antibiotic with strength(dose) according to the degree of infection. Meanwhile following general care will help you as well:
> Acetaminophen for pain.
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
> Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day.
AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Ok thanks I also forgot to mention I have a bad smell in my nose I also am type 1 diabetic
Brief Answer:
You are welcome
Detailed Answer:
Hello
You are most welcome. I'll be available 24/7 for if you need any guidance.
Bad smell can also be as a result of sinus blockage as all sinuses open into nose. Also if there is bacterial colonization in sinus then it may also result in bad smell. Hopefully as soon as infection subsides, this will also heal.
Feel free to get back with a query. If not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
