Taking Buckley's Cough Medicine For Cough Along With Diabetes
Hi, I'm diabetic and have a cold cough that is driving me crazy! Can't sleep. Taking Buckley's cough med, sugar free. Does not seem to help much, and my sugar levels are elevated in spite of minimal eating and careful testing and insulin dosages. Also taking Halls cough drops, also sugar free...am on day two of misery!

Thanks for using health care magic. I read your query and I believe you may be having lower respiratory tract infection.as you are diebetic ad blood sugar is raised which could be one of the cause of respiratory infection so you must consult the chest physician early. Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more queries.
With best wishes for a speedy recovery
