Uncontrolled Diabetes

My mother has sugars 120/180 fbs/ppbs as of now. Some days its 135/200 She had covid first symptom on 4th April and recovered on 14th April. She was treated at home and had steroids for 5-6 days (deflazacort 12mg per day). Today is 37th day of her recovery. Is she in risk of mucormycosis? No symptoms, but she did dusting at home without mask by mistake, and I was worried. Are her sugar levels so high which make her prone to black fungus?

Black fungus query

Hello doc, My queries are : 1. Why all doctors stressing on diabetes at risk ??? 2. Why there are no black fungus cases in high sugar level patients earlier ??? 3. Will black fungus come in diabetic patients without history of covid ??? Or it will come due to high steroid usage in diabetic patients ??? 4. If a patient is diabetic without history of covid how much fbs and ppbs levels are to be maintained to reduce the risk of black fungus??? 5. Why earlier doctors are not stressed on diabetes risk to black fungus, but why now ??? Please give useful and relevant information with brief... Thank you...
