Hello, Diabetic patients are more prone to bacterial infections than normal. So it is possible that there might be an underlying infection.
Next Steps
Initially get a chest X-ray. Consult for further evaluation and treatment.

Is he a smoker or ex smoker? If yes, that can be cause of chronic dry cough. Otherwise need to consult doctor for evaluation for COPD, ILD etc.
