well I got through xmas lunch at my daughter's place without too many battle scars except one. I kinda cheated and drank more than my usual amount of red wine for the occasion. I had about I would say about 20ozs of red wine over the course of the afternoon with the meal. As for food I don't think I exceeded my usual carb allotment. I practice low carb and intermittent fasting. Its been about 6 months now. In any event, when I tested my BS during the evening , I was at a very low 3.9. Things only slightly improved the next morning @ 4.3 Typically I test around 5.5 -6.0 in the mornings. Needless to say I was feeling a bit lightheaded and definitely not my usual self. I am curious to hear back and get your take as to what you think happened. I know that a reasonable amount of wine can be tolerated by most T2's with little impact on their blood glucose levels but in my case it has the real opposite and quite undesirable effect. Any thoughts on why this is the case. I'm on 2000mg metformin and 30 mg glick. Thanks.
