[|Human|] Hey my partner has a bad cough and got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of covonia chesty cough mixture. He did not read the instructions so he drank approximately like 80 milliliter. He is insulin dependent diabetic and had high blood sugar before he drank it so he had a dose of insulin before he drank it. Is he going to be alright?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the question. Taking 80 ml of the said cough mixture gives a considerable amount of glucose, as the product contains liquid glucose for taste. So it is bound to give rise to his blood glucose. This will be a temporary rise. Other ingredients are unlikely to cause any serious problem. However, a person with diabetes should avoid taking cough mixtures which contain either syrupy base or liquid glucose. There are other preparations available free of sugar specifically for diabetics. Thanks.
