Diabetes can indeed raise your risk for shingles. Stress and immune dysfunction raise the risk. https://www.empowher.com/condition/shingles
I am wondering if you have talked to your health care provider or endocrinologist about the shingles vaccine? If you are a candidate, it may help you: https://www.empowher.com/condition/search/anti-shingles-vaccine
Getting older is a risk factor for shingles by itself, so your risk of repeated attacks is probably rising. I would definitely ask your doctor about the vaccine. It is highly recommended.
Shingles is miserable and painful. I'm sorry you keep going through it. Good luck to you.
