[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1862693, member: 453103"] 3-4 Coronas should not be an issue. If anything they will likely raise your blood sugar a bit and then you will go lower later. Don't expect to have perfect blood sugars if you're drinking heavily or drinking beer, you won't. Are you on a pump or MDI? If you're on a pump you can lower your overnight basal rates to avoid going low, or if you are using Levemir as your MDI basal you can take a smaller dose overnight. You can also compensate by eating food that is high in carbs, fat and protein so that you will have a steady release of carbs for hours after eating. I try to stay away from beer these days, especially IPAs, because they can really spike blood sugar. I find wine and whiskey are okay, but if you have too many you will have lows later on and will need to compensate with food and/or less basal insulin. [/QUOTE]
