[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1862820, member: 468055"] I suspect we’re all to old to even know what it is... ;) I like drinking, I must confess. I suspect luck has been on my side as I’ve not had any diabetic emergencies that I know of while under the influence. I look back in horror now at the amount I used to put away, to be honest. I seem to recall making sure I had plenty of chips or biscuits before bed. I also recall some quite poor choices being made :wacky: Nowadays I stick to dry wine, as the alcohol in a bottle pretty much evens out the carbs, so I don’t inject or snack for it. I sometimes have a mild low the following morning at around 8am, but a dextrose tablet and a half hour suspend on my pump deals with that without me over-correcting and ending up high. I’ve got a Libre+MiaoMiao so I get alarms if I go low, which gives me a measure of security. I do get massive hypos if I drink too much by way of spirits, so have to take the single malt and rum very easily. :rolleyes: I don’t drink beer or cider any more, they’re just too high in carbs for the way I choose to live these days. So you can enjoy a beer or three, just keep an eye on your levels, both of alcohol and glucose. [/QUOTE]
