I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice regarding insulin whilst drinking alcohol.
I don't drink very often but I am planning on going out the bar next week to play some pool with some mates.
I will probably have around 10 pints of lager. ( I know this is more than he recommended units)
I have looked up that one pint has roughly 15g carbs in it.
Does this mean I should tak 1.5 units of insulin for each pint I consume or should I work it differently with alcohol?
Perhaps just take my normal dosage with my meal beforehand and then correct the high sugar levels after drinking when I have another high carb meal?
Any advice?
Thanks a lot!
