It very definitely sounds like a yeast infection. I believe the irritated bowel and the hemorrhoids are related to this situation. The diabetes angle is a possibility, but it could be as simple as getting the diet out of kilter, although I'd suspect a helping hand from antibiotics or a sexual escapade with the wrong person.
The drugs to control the yeast can eradicate it, but if the diet is not controlled and the conditions which allowed the yeast to flourish are not changed, it'll be back. One effect yogurt has which the drugs don't as far as I know, it the reestablishment of a proper balance of flora under the skin.
For the stomach prolems, it is important to ingest yogurt with live cultures. I think it's also important to apply a small amount under the foreskin as well. Meanwhile, all beer, wine, and soft drink consumption should stop. Eliminate all sugars and you'd also be advised temporarily to stop eating carbohydrates. For a month, it won't hurt you, and you'll actually have more energy. Be prepared however that at first, with the dieoff of yeast, you may experience a flareup in your symptons.
Also, visit your local health food store and get what they advise for candida.
