Detailed Answer:
Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
As you are a diabetic,infection persists in your body for longer periods than in the population with normal immunology.
A fever,coryzal symptoms and cough might be due to a respiratory tract infection or an allergic reaction complicated by a superadded infection.
An unintended weight loss of greater than 4.5 kg in a period of 6 to 12 months is considered as significant and also points towards a infective pathology.
Please go for your blood work which includes CBC and total eosinophil counts.
Sputum culture,sputum AFB,Throat swab for H1N1,X ray chest and x ray paranasal sinus are also indicated.
HbA1c would reflect the status of blood sugar control in past months and need for revision of insulin doses,if any.
Further management depends on the reports procured.
Hope that I have answered your query.
If you have any doubts,please let me know.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
