[QUOTE="Wobbles101, post: 1631541, member: 425416"] Firstly I would like to apologise if this has already been covered, I was first diagnosed with type 2 in Feb 2017, I went to the doctor feeling tired all the time, they gave me a blood test, went back weeks later sat there and aske why I was there, when I said I was there for my blood results I was told well you know you have diabetes don't you, **Shock** no, well you know what it is, here are tablets take two in the morning and two with meal in the evening (4 x 500mg Metformin) - now since then I have been put on and taken off of glicazide - my average blood on the little tester is anything between 4.3 and 8.1 (high in the mornings) - been told by diabetic expert course leader that I could come off all tablets if hb1 thing comes back as low as it did last time (well in the normal levels for non diabetic). Now with the back story done, Drinking - and these tablets - I have been told drinking is ok just eat - I went on a mates stag do (4 days heavy drinking) and I was fine, then just recently after 3/4 drinks it feels like I have had loads more and my memory is going - now the other day I had 3 glasses of red wine - and I can not remember over half the evening, next morning.... now nobody said acted any different I had a meal with people and I carried on drinking, just cannot remember any of it. now with Christmas next month I don't want to be the nominated drive because I have diabetes.. Advise please.. [/QUOTE]
