[Diabetes-talk] Diabetic cough syrup

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Does cough syrup really affect glucose levels though considering the
small amount taken? I don't often use medications like this, but I can't
recall that I've ever noticed increased numbers. Perhaps it depends on
the individual, but it sounds like more of a business, money-making item
then that it's truly necessary for diabetics.

You might try the cough syrup called Delsym.  I used it once and it
worked ok for me.  I haven't gotten sick in a number of months since
then, (thank
goodness) so I haven't had to worry about it anymore.  As far as sugar
free things being more expensive, that's usually true because like
someone else said, it's a specialized market where they don't sell those
products in as high a volume as their non sugar-free counterparts.  Some
things I have found I really like.  If you ever want ice cream bars,
Edy's makes a sugar free strawberry that's really good.  Jell-O has some
sugar free puddings that are good too.  I'm partial to the chocolate and
dulce de leche (like a Carmel taste), ones myself.  These are the ones
already made, not the mixes. I know some people have had allergic
reactions depending on the type of sweetener used, but so far that
hasn't been an issue for me.  Jell-O also makes a sugar free raspberry
mix that I like as well as a sugar free orange mix.  They have the pre
made cups that are sugar free too, but I haven't had those to see if I
like them.  You're right though; some things are just worth having the
real thing.

Hope this helps.

Julie
