Alcohol and type 2 what to drink?

[JonQ]

Iam Diabetic type 2 and wanted to know about alcohol? i go out once a week for a drink with friends and usually have a few Magners cider or a Pints of Lager and Morgans rum and diet coke but what is the best alcohol to have ?

I stick to red wine or clear spirits. Avoid sugary alcoholic drinks like cider and lager. Diet coke is ok, but even that has been shown to cause sugar levels to rise!

hi, mine is a vodka.....pint of! (joke).

Aspalls dry cider is okay for me or couple of pints of lager.

realbeer.com has calories and carb contents of some lager and stouts.

Vodka and soda does it for me, about 50/50.
