[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1008204, member: 150927"] Any low-carb/no carb alcoholic drink has the effect of stopping, or slowing down at least, your liver from producing and releasing even more glucose into our system (the effect of the alcohol - it engages your liver so much in the clearing of it out it can't do much else!) as part of the Dawn Phenomenon if your liver is inclined to do that, and the low or no carb bit means you haven't contributed to your blood glucose in drinking it in the first place. The red wine bit is that the reservetrol in the red grape skin is good for blood glucose control. Why I have no idea, but I have read that in many different sources. (And for us actually drinking grape juice or even eating a bowl of red grapes could raise our BGs, so you can see why an alcoholic red grape juice drink has such a benefit!) (I have never bought it but reservetrol as a supplement is pretty pricey too, I have seen.) This is why so many diabetics are delighted for the red wine thing! But when it comes to alcohol, obviously the 'in moderation' thing is key :). One is basically using a pleasant toxin to engage the liver in some work to get rid of it, and provide a good nutrient. NZ merlots, I find, are an exceedingly pleasant way to get reservetrol and engage the liver overnight in something other than releasing glucose. :). [/QUOTE]
