Have you talked to her doctor? Did they put her on anything for the coughing?

Have a chat with your local pharmacist and/or your mum's GP? No sugar cough syrup is known to cause tummy problems so personally I wouldn't take that but as she's insulin dependent she could allow for the full sugar version but I would speak to someone with medical training - ring 111 or if her breathing is really bad go to A&E.
