[QUOTE="sunny_alice, post: 2010516, member: 491198"] I recommend eating a good meal, but not necessarily a carb dense one at least 2 hours before you plan on drinking. Also keep in mind that while beer is delicious, it can pack a huge amount of carbs per can. Darker beers especially can have as many carbs as a large low snack. They are especially dangerous because you are more likely to drink more of them due to the low alcohol content. Beyond that: test often, make sure to test before bed so you don’t have carbs kicking in once you go to sleep, drink plenty of water during and after, always keep a glucagon close by (honestly this should already be happening even when not drinking). Just remember that your real truest friends will not force you to drink or make you feel out of place because you do not consume alcohol. If you don’t want it, then you don’t want it. And stay safe whatever it is you decide. [/QUOTE]
