You will definitely require scaling .. laser curettage can be suggested post an X-ray ( also looks like you may need ) as Gums look weak.
If diabetic control is poor or if you’re borderline diabetic already it’s better to go ahead with the procedure to prevent tooth loss and enhance gum health further
