I haven't tried any beer since I found this Forum , so have no BG test results for it.
However I do have test results for Red Wine which show that in the 1 or even 2 hours after wards it reduces my BG, but next morning my levels are back as high as I would have expected to see before bedtime.
Example last night I gave in to temptation and had some 90% dark Chocolate (which I know some of us have little problem with).
Unfortunately I really gave in, and so had around 30gms of it (= 10gms carbs) instead of the 7.5 to 15gms I had intended.
I also had 2 glasses of red wine , which was probably the cause of the lack of judgement. The effect last night was that my BG went down from 7.3 (2hrs post the evening meal) to 6.6 before bed.
Then it was 8.2 this morning! So I am skipping breakfast and having a slightly later lunch - turning the day into an IF day.
