Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have itching and irritation of foreskin and burning urination occasionally,This could be due to fungal infection secondary to Diabetes.
Many times itching of genitals is a presenting symptom of Diabetes .Please get your blood sugar tests on empty stomach and 2 hours after lunch done to rule out or confirm the same.
In the mean while start taking anti fungal medication like Fluconozole orally with topical anti fungal jelly like Fluconozole for local application.
