[QUOTE="etmsreec, post: 217145, member: 22426"] Welcome Robert. Not sure who did the diagnosis and who's supervising you now, but hopefully you have contact details and appointments with a Diabetes Specialist Nurse (DSN) to help you. It's probably fair to say that neither you nor the DSN will stop learning - it's a lifelong experience! Your dietician and DSN should be able to help you on which foods are good for you and which foods should be taken less often or in smaller quantities. They'll also be able to help with the question of alcohol. In my experience, though, the important thing to remember is NOT to count the carbs in the alcohol. If anything, take a little MORE carbohydrate as the alcohol will naturally lower the blood sugar. Steve [/QUOTE]
