Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Since you are diabetic on treatment and you are having this problems with foreskin on and off, it is better you undergo circumcision.
Your doctor has suggested right for you, as it carries a risk of going in for phimosis or para-phimosis as complications or it may cause non-healing ulcers, which can get infected.
This is more likely to happen in diabetics.
Hence, it would be better for you to make up your mind for your own good health to undergo circumcision operation.
Hope the information provided would be useful. All the best and good health.
