Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
Yes, continue covid medication as per doctor's advice.
But if sugar is high, then you need to reconsider dose of anti diabetic medicine.
For that consult your doctor to reconsider dose.
If you are steroids (sometimes used in covid), then you may need to be on insulin for few days.

I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
