There are lots of options which include bone grafting etc. but first diabetes should be controlled then you should go for dental treatment.

If it is controlled diabetes you can undergo surgical treatment , else you will have to wait n get it under control . If it is very advanced you may have to have surgery which will help you to retain your natural teeth
