Medication for coughs and colds.

[shelts]

I got a head and chest cold; I reached for the benylin and the strepcils without thinking. I had my usual low carb breakfast, and tested a couple of hours later. So, there I was expecting my usual after brekkie reading of 6.0 - 6.1 Oh no! It was 8.8...

Scarey! Now I suppose I have to try and look for sugar free cough medicine and throat lozenges.

As I said; the things we take for granted ..................

Now you know you can take 1/2 or 1u of insulin with it.

You can buy Strawberry flavor (yummers!) sugar free Strepsils.

Also, Robutissin do a sugar free cough mixture: http://www.robitussin.com/products/sugar-free-cough-chest-congestion-dm (available behind the counter at Boots, am not sure about other pharmacies).

There is also sugar free Rennie available, fyi.

Pholcodeine (not sure of the spelling) is sugar free and suggested for diabetics. It is ok in taste and will stop you coughing. Available at chemists. Hope this helps.
