[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 619131, member: 112692"] I tested for the first time after drinking alcohol - I was drinking champagne before, during and after a meal (chicken, veg & gravy) and my bg stayed at 4.4 through the whole few hours. Dietitian told me alcohol gives you low blood sugar so you should eat with it. Many years ago I did a course in fitness training and it always stuck in my head when we were told that 'the body doesn't recognise alcohol as a food so it produces copious amounts of insulin to get it out of the blood stream as quickly as possible'. Assuming this is true, could be why BG didn't rise? [/QUOTE]
