Definitely : Diabetes is a significant risk for more severe infections with COVID or other agents. I think a Dr evaluation ASAP would be best if your diabetes is uncontrolled, especially with the symptoms you describe. They can do a full history, exam, & lab work including COVID test but also blood sugar, blood count, etc.
