[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 625266, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. Although taking too much alcohol is not good for anyone in low quantities it is OK for us as it only has a small effect on blood sugar (both up and down a bit). Most of the carbs will have been converted to alcohol hence the effect on blood sugar is small for many alcoholic drinks. Can you tell us what your weight is i.e. are you normal BMI or above? You are already on Metformin and Gliclazide. The third often prescribed tablet is Sitaglitpin. If you are over weight then some people have a weekly injectable prescribed such as Bydureon. There is always insulin at the end of the day but not ideal until weight is in the normal range. Are you low-carbing? This is the best way to get both weight and blood sugar down. BTW if you are still quite young and not overweight then the possibility of Late onset T1 lurks in the background. [/QUOTE]
