DOES UNCONTROLLABLE COUGHING INDICATE DIABETES?

A FRIEND OF MINES TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A SIGN OF DIABETES

No, coughing is not a sign of diabetes. Why were you thinking this indicated diabetes; do you have risk factors or other symptoms that may be a sign of diabetes?

You can read more about diabetes at: American Diabetes Association (ADA)

Uncontrollable coughing could be a sign of many things, most namely a cold, flu or virus or upper respiratory infection/condition (since it is a dry cough). Are you allergic to specific allergens, or currently smoke? Do you have any other symptoms of a cold, flu, sinus congestion or respiratory infection?
