Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Umbilical hernia needs to be operated by a Surgeon. Most umbilical hernias are painless and doesn't cause any discomfort.
Surgery is the treatment of choice as to make sure that it doesn't land up in complications. It is called 'umbilical hernia repair'. It can be done by laproscopic means.
Since you are known diabetic, you need to control your blood glucose levels and take Physician's fitness to get operated.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
