hi welcome to hcm, i personally feel that your frequent cough and cold are not because of diabetes and not due to your medications for diabetes. The high blood sugar can hinder the healing process of the other ailments, just the same as it can hinder the healing of wounds. Whatever it takes to get her blood sugar down is going to help all the other things too.The pain below heel of your leg elbow and knees are due to diabetic neuropathy. your fasting blood sugar is not up to the mark you might need to increase the dosage of your diabetic medication and you have to adhere to your diet control and exercises hope this explains
