read this on alcohol and diabetes
I know for me drinking alcohol can cause havoc with my diabetes.
At times it can raise my blood sugar initially with the extra carbs in the
mixer but eventually will cause a severe low. If you do drink, please do in
moderation and watch the high sugar mixers. Always eat when drinking
alcohol and be prepared for eventual lows. There is a big risk that if
driving and stopped that one may think you are intoxicated rather than
having a low blood sugar episode since the symptoms are similar.
Please read article for better explanation.
