[QUOTE="iHs, post: 683568, member: 8799"] In the past, many insulin dependant diabetics were just advised to increase their insulin a tiny bit to cope with increases in bg levels due to illness and medications so as long as people test bg levels and take the right action, then there's no real harm done. The reason for the warnings on cough meds etc is due to the rise in type 2 diabetes that is controlled by tablets and as such would not be controlled Very well if the medication caused an increase in bg.
