It is always possible.
CMT can co-exist with other conditions.
Diabetics do not all get neuropathy. I've seen quotes that 20% on the low side up to 30% of diabetics get it. The others do not.
There are some studies to show that diabetic neuropathy, as well as the other terrible consequences of diabetes like vision loss, amputation from poor circulation etc, only occur in certain people with a genetic tendency for it.
This new report says up to 50% and that is the highest I have seen yet:
