Hi
@ivan 2,
Perhaps if you could provide some detail about what diet you have been prescribed and whether you have also taking any medications.
My personal comments from my reading and diabetes education: ( not to be taken as health professional advice or opinion)
Some persons with T2D
are said to have fatty liver and alcohol can make this worse.
Our liver stores up glucose from our meal and may release it over the hours til our next meal if the blood sugar dips too low.
Sometimes certain diabetes medication can cause blood sugars to go low too. In general terms our brain tends to use glucose for fuel and gets pretty upset if that fuel is in low supply in the blood. So your liver 'tops up' the blood sugar.
BUT alcohol, while it is present, stops the liver from releasing glucose. So it can be a problem for those usually on medication whose blood sugars might fall too low.
My take on
alcohol is that it is produced by yeast (bugs). The alcohol gives the yeast producing it an advantage over another bug growing
because it is toxic to the other bugs. And it is
toxic to our bodies. Why would you wish to poison your body ?
Antioxidants in wine, healthy you say/? See where else you can get them from, places without the alcohol.
End of rant !!
