Hi, Don't panic, as long as your blood sugar levels are in control you are usually safe only minimum risk, check your fasting and PP sugar every alternate day and consult for further treatment.

Cause for black are multiple and diabetes is just one. If sugars are fine nothing to worry. Not every one with covid is not at high risk for black fungus.
