Codeine : Codeine does not typically have an effect on blood sugar levels. It will be important to take this medication with food, however, because some patients report nausea when taken on an empty stomach. It is prudent for you to continue to check your blood sugar as directed.

Should be ok: Codeine and other pain medication should not alter your sugar levels in short doses. It should be ok.
