well yes, probably a floater... but with diabetes you're at risk for retinopathy (bleeding in your eye). there are many things that cause 'floaters'. most of the time in non-diabetics, the floaters are benign collagen condensations. but in DIABETICS the risk is that the floater may be a sign of retinal bleeding, which would be a big deal.
you need an eye exam.
