I like hot water, lemons and whisky. Wonder if a smidgeon of honey would raise BG? I didn't get a cough this year, but usually they are the bain of my life in winter. Hope yours is better soon.
 
If you're determined to take cough medicine, then go to a chemist shop, explain symptoms and your diabetes to pharmacist, follow their advice.
However, hot drink / today / gargling with hot salty water etc can often be equally effective for treating the sore throat aspect of cough.
