Not usually. The issue with diabetics is usually the infection, not the antibiotic used to treat it. If the infection is not healing, then it may eventually become life-threatening. Infections can also cause blood sugar to rise.
Antibiotics may become a problem for diabetes control if they induce nausea and/or vomiting (like some of the "cyclines"). Less commonly, some antibiotics, like Tequin, have been found to cause severe hyperglycemia. They are not to be prescribed for someone with diabetes.
If you have any concerns, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
