Re: Re: COLD MEDICINE AND DIABETES????????

[Guest guest]

I get cough syrup in California all the time with no alcohol or sugar.

Robitussin makes a formula for diabetics - there's also one called

Diabetic Tussin. I get either one at Rite-Aid, Sav-On and Walgreens.

There are also sugar free cough drops.

I live in Virginia and we give william diabetic tussin made by robotussin I get

it at the local pharmacy. Its the only med he can take with his seizure med and

we can use that only if the vaporizer does not work.

Also if you are subject to seizures pseudoephedrine can cause breakthroughs as

it lowers the seizure meds resistance.

well, that explains one reason my bgs have been a bit higher...I was taking

the cough meds we had here, not buying the diabetic tussin like I usually

do.

Never mind, 'waste not, want not'...I am gonna get 'my' kind again.

I have heard tylenol also raises bgs, and I have had to take it lately, the

arthritis kind.

Hmmmm.
