[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 240970, member: 30851"] [b]Re: mixing alcohol with metformin and glipicide[/b] I quite agree wih your ords of caution Angeleyes. The most anyone can say is that they drink while taking medication and that SO FAR it has not had any adverse effects. ILest anyone think I am one of the ani-alcohol brigade - far from it. I was only ever the occasional social drinker but when put on medicaion for diabetes I actually could,t stomach even the smallest drink for a couple of years. Now I can. And do. Not very often and not to excesss but everything else being eual I am prepared to take the risk - whatever that may be. I don't believe that anyone knows . The nurse has no right to tell people that its OK to drink. She could asay it is not recommended or advisable . It is a little like the medical establishment not wanting to endorse a lowcarb diet but endorsing a high carb one instead. I wonder if this is a dibees nurse or just the pracice nurse wearing diabetic cap? They are a positive menace. They should point out the possible risks and leave the individual to work out for his'herself if they are prepared to take that risk. Most doctors seem able o admit when they don't know the answer wihout fear of losing the patient's confidence. Many of these nurses seem incapable of doing the same. It is irresponsible. As for knowing the patient's medical history and other condiions- well it may be AVAILABLE to them bu do they actually bother ? It all sounds like never-never land to me or some sort of medical utopia. Just do as Nursie says and all will be well! Living is a risky business- I wouldnt let the nurse take my decisions for me. Ask questios if you will but be aware that "They" do not necessarily have the answers. Or at least he correct answers. Probably because there IS no one size fits all answer. [/QUOTE]
