[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor. I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having that you are a known diabetic on treatment with Metformin and Glucoside tablets. The treatment prescribed for fever, cough and cold by antibiotic in the form of Augmenting is in correct direction and these tablets will not affect the sugar levels. You need to continue the treatment as advised by your doctor along with the diabetic medicines. Hope this is helpful to you. Do write back to me for further questions. Thank you for writing to us.
