Hi and welcome.
I think that question is something you should probably discuss with your GP.
Are you on medication for your diabetes? What is your HbA1c like? Do you have good control, or are you just newly diagnosed?

I know nothing about growth hormone but would ask why you feel you want to take it and do you currently have a healthy BMI, as adding something like that to a body which is already carrying too much weight may put extra stress on your system. More information would probably help people who have more knowledge than me to give you suitable advice.
 
Unfortunately this isn’t the sort of question members here can answer.

We can only share our own experiences and don’t have medical qualifications (or details of your specific case) in order to comment.

You might get useful pointers from a qualified high street pharmacist, or need to speak to your GP.
