Hello everyone.
I am planning on consuming 2 beers this evening and I was wondering whether I should lower my basal rate for that because I am scared of going low while I sleep.
Now I have done a bit of research and it seems that 2 beers will only stay in the system for up to 5 hours based on my weight. According to various calculators, after 5 hours my blood alcohol content should be back to 0 %. So I am assuming that after this time the liver will stop working on alcohol and will return to its normal function.
I won't go to sleep within the 5 hours after a couple of beers so I was wondering whether I should lower my basal or keep it the same and simply keep my eye on my blood sugars? (I have a CGM).
Any ideas and tips are highly appreciated!
