Such kind of a chest pain that u are describing is not classical of any heart disease. Your family history of diabetes also has nothing to do with it.
However as you said that the pain is very severe and so painful that u have to stop doing whatever u are and hold your chest, it brings to my mind only one possibility. May be an esophageal spasm.
So kindly do a barium swalloe test and see whether there is this what is causing you such a severe symptoms
