Wow, i didnt know you could get this from diabetes! I have had it since i was about 19, however i spent 4 years in the Air Force, underneath running f-15's and i have some permanent ear ringing (and that was WITh double hearing protection!) i have basically been told there is no cure and i will live with it the rest of my life. it has been 7 years since i have been away from the aircraft now, and my ears still ring.. it used to be really annoying, especially when going to sleep at night. I have learned to live with it now. I dont even really notice unless it is totally quiet, or if someone asks me to listen to something that is kinda low in tone (i have to strugglle to hear it over the ringing) Baring that.. i can say after a while you wont notice it so much.. But if there is a cure (besides surgery) i would be ALL FOR IT! Good luck!
