When you have any kind of infection (or injury) your body produces antibodies to try and "fix it"

Antibodies need sugar to do their job so our system will released stored sugar to help them out often resulting in slightly elevated (compared to normal) blood sugar levels

Yes, diabetes can impact your risk and management of infections, including ear infections. High blood glucose levels can make infections more dangerous and harder to treat. If you have an ear infection and diabetes, it's important to monitor your blood sugar levels closely and consult your doctor for appropriate treatment.
