A diabetic has either impaired and/or non-functioning pancreas which produces insulin. If insulin is not injected, the sugars from carbs build up in blood which results in high blood sugar.

How the assimilation of glucose by a non diabetic person differs from that of a person suffering from diabetes?

It's important to note that there are two types of diabetic people, literally called Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetics do not produce insulin, while Type 2 diabetics are resistant to insulin. While the reason for it is different, the commonality is that diabetic people effectively lack the insulin that normal people use to regulate their blood sugar levels. For a non-diabetic person, when their blood sugar rises their pancreas secretes insulin to help break down the glucose, and when their blood sugar is low their production of insulin slows. For a diabetic person, this system is malfunctioning, which causes them to either not produce enough insulin or not properly utilize what they have.

How many carbs should a man that is diabetic works 10 hours aday and is 6ft 2ins tall and weighs 225?

Because carbohydrates are non-essential there is no need to eat them at all. If you don't eat carbohydrates the body do not need to release insulin. But if your blood sugar is low and your body is unable to regulate it you should consider consuming small amounts of carbohydrates.
