Diabetes is failure of single organ, so it can not cause a infections disease (tuberculosis) However, people of diabetes have weaker immune system, thus they have higher risk on getting infected. Also, complications of most infectious diseases are more severe with diabetes.
2 :
Diabetes cannot CAUSE tuberculosis. IT may facilitate the growth of the bacillus due to the increased amount of sugar circulating in the blood and in the tissues which is then used by the invader. Patients with diabetes are prone to many different infections due to this higher level of sugar and must be very careful with any kinds of cuts and scrapes to avoid them getting infected.

Tarsem S ! Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, slow-growing bacteria that thrive in areas of the body that are rich in blood and oxygen, such as the lungs. People who have latent TB may be at risk for developing the active disease if they: Have a condition or disease that weakens their immune system, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, some cancers, or poorly controlled diabetes. Have poor access to health care, such as homeless people, migrant farm workers, or people who abuse alcohol or drugs. Take medications that contain corticosteroids for a long time or are taking tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonists (used to treat rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease). Have a condition that results in an impaired immune system, which can occur in older adults, newborns, women who have recently given birth, or people who have had an organ transplant and are taking medications to prevent organ rejection. Have a chronic lung disease caused by breathing in tiny sand or silica particles (silicosis). Have celiac disease.2 Have had gastric bypass surgery or a gastrectomy.
