White wine & soda?

[GuidingSenses]

Is the odd one a week allowed? I’m going away and hope to stick to g&t as I know wine is a no no and full of sugar. Don’t want to panic the nurse on my 2nd appointment in 2 weeks if I have an odd wine.

Dry wines aren't full of sugar.

A nice Sauvignon Blanc is low carb. Other wines differ. Not sure how I’d get through my “sentence” without alcohol as my only treat. Enjoy!

@GuidingSenses - Are you taking any new meds since your diabetes diagnosis?

She put me on Metformin one a day, this is day 3.

Is your tummy OK on the Metformin so far? Some folks find it upsets their tumms for a short while, asome find they can't get on with it, and the majority are just fine on it.

Take it steady with the vino (not suggesting you're setting out to go OTT), just to see how you go. When you're taking new meds, and changes to your food, reactions can sometimes be a bit surprising.

Thankyou and yes day 1 I had slight nausea, day 2 ok and today yet to see. Just had one very diluted wine and soda with my meal but yes it’s a one off for a few days but we are away Tues -Fri and didn’t know if spritzer was ok as my nurse just talked about sugar content.
Thankyou for your advice

wine spritzers are no a problem for me in moderation

I probably have my full quota a week. It is one of my few pleasures since going ultra low carb. Everyone needs something!

I am able to drink wine and soda, I tend to go for some of the low alcohol ones that have low sugar too, but I only drink them occasionally, I'm practically tee-total these days, and don't miss it at all.
