I am meeting up with a couple of cousins that I haven't met for 30 year this weekend. They are big drinkers and in my past so was I.
Alcohol is going to be a big part of this get together and I am trying to come up with the best way to handle it. My current plan is to drink only Dry Martini with diet lemonade as I have found this to have little effect on my BG. But I've only tested after having two and I suspect I will end up having a lot more this weekend.
I've read that a lot of alcohol can increase the risk of hypos so should I have a carb rich meal prior to having a drink? Anything else I should consider?
Oh and if you are planning on replying with 'dont drink' then dont bother
