Hello,
You haven't specified the type of problem you have. For example does the allergy present with skin rash, asthma, rhinitis or something else? Antihistamines are the main treatment options for allergic reactions. The drug you've mentioned is an antihistamine so it's appropriate. Depending on the allergy other kinds of treatment may be available and useful.
People with allergic asthma will benefit from inhaled drugs (corticosteroids and bronchodilators) and pills (leukotriene inhibitors). People with rhinitis may require topical corticosteroid treatment (corticosteroid nasal spray), etc. Unless you use systemic corticosteroids (by mouth or injected) your blood sugar is not supposed to be seriously impaired.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis
