Following my diagnosis in January this year not a drop of alcohol has passed my lips. I enjoy a drink with friends on a Friday evening and whilst I do not have a craving for alcohol I am getting fed up with diet coke. I seek advice on whether 2 pints of medium strength good quality bitter is likely to cause me any harm, once per week. If it helps I currently take 1 x 2.5 mg Ramipril first thing in the morning, 1 x 500 mg Metformin with my breakfast and 1 x 500 mg Metformin with my evening meal. I have tried to research this issue on various sites but unfortunately like all things diabetic there are very mixed messages. My GP and DN simple say all things in moderation! Cheers.
