Question: Question about diabetes and alcohol?
if a diabetic person were to drink alcohol, what would be the best thing for them to drink when bearing in mind blood sugars etc. also, are shots bad for them to have?
Answers:
Alcohol LOWERS blood sugar.
Always check your sugar often and always eat when you drink.
Drink moderately only .
What shots ? Those of us on insulin do have to take it in an injection .
ALL alcohol breaks down into glucose. Doesn't matter what kind.
If you're going to drink, you have to make up for it with extra insulin, or eating less.
