Answer:

There are many PubMed indexed journals that offer rapid publication options; however, it will be difficult to suggest specific journals without going through the entire manuscript. It is important to know the content of the study in detail to identify target journals.

You could consider journals like BMJ open Diabetes Research & Care, The Diabetes Educator, Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, all of which are PubMed indexed. The review periods for many journals can be found on their websites.

I would also recommend searching for similar studies in Google scholar and finding journals suiting the study’s scope. You could also try Journal Guide BETA and Elsevier's Journal Finder. You can then finalize a target journal based on your specific requirements.
