Ringworm treatment: There are definitely treatments for ringworm (fungus). In people with diabetes, there is increased blood sugar which makes fungus grow faster. Topical medications in non-hairy areas. For hair or scalp fungal infections, oral medications are needed. But they definitely can and should be treated. Also granuloma annulare is a rash that happens in people with diabetes and looks like ringworm.

I would : Get a second opinion regarding the rash.There are treatment options available for ringworms and they are treatable! need more specifics / details and physical exam to be more specific.
