[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2355643, member: 527103"] The reason for low blood sugars after alcohol is that the liver stops dripping glucose to focus on the toxins in the alcohol. The carbs from the food you eat still make it into your blood in the same way as usual. You are just missing the background glucose. If you are following a basal-bolus insulin regime, the basal mops up the background glucose drip if that drip isn't there, you have too much insulin and your blood sugars drop too low. [/QUOTE]
