Yes. See the related link.

No one knows this with any degree of reliability. It is known that Poe was not treated by his personal physician for any diabetic condition during his lifetime. The idea that Poe had Diabetes arose as one possible theory of his death (among many others). The idea arose simply by a review of his symptoms and condition at the time of his death and not of any symptoms or conditions during his life other than the fact that he did not tolerate alcohol very well.

Edgar Allan Poe's death is widely believed to have been caused by complications related to Alcoholism or drug abuse, although the exact cause remains a mystery. Other theories suggest he may have succumbed to rabies, a brain tumor, carbon monoxide poisoning, or even been a victim of foul play.

If Poe ever had an actual death certificate, it has been lost. No autopsy was performed because it was not required at the time. No one really knows how he died. Some speculations are; Hypoglycemia, murder, suicide, alcoholism, rabies.
