Hi all,
It is my Brother's wedding in December. I have been a T1 since August so still in the early stages of this lovely pain in the @ss disease. Anyhow, my levels are all under control and I am having next to no hypo's so managing quite well.
My concern is that although I am not really a drinker (Might have literally a can of lager or 2 on a Saturday) I will want to have a good drink and a laugh on the night of the wedding. I am staying overnight in the Hotel so no need to offer advice on not driving etc!
Before I had diabetes, If I had 7 or 8 pints that was good night for me, I'd be well drunk, slurring and dancing badly etc...I have not got drunk since diagnosis and am really anxious about whether to just have 1 or 2 pints and then get on the diet coke. My partner will be with me and she is really sensible and would know if there was something wrong, but I'm still worried I may take the shine off his special day if I end up in A&E!! (or more to the point his Wife's as she has been planning this since before they met!)
Any advice welcome.
Thanks
JC
