Black fungal infections or Mucormycosis occur usually in patients who have low immunity due to some underlying diseases like diabetes etc or in people who were treated with medicines that can suppress your immunity like steroids.
As your blood sugar levels are well controlled, the risks of developing Mucormycosis can be considered as very low.
