Diabetes isn't considered a direct comorbidity of spondylitis, so it's not something that typically "runs together" with the condition in the way some other conditions do.

That said, some medications used to treat spondylitis — particularly corticosteroids — can affect blood sugar levels, which is worth discussing with your doctor if you have concerns.

It's always a good idea to keep all your doctors informed about your spondylitis and any treatments you're on, so they can monitor your overall health effectively. Open communication between your care team makes a big difference in managing everything safely.
