Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2621841">I have always understood the effect of alcohol as [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] explains - it stops the drip of glucose whilst processing the alcohol.I have never heard of it “stretch the effect of carbs over a longer period”. This does not reflect my experience. With Type 1, if this was the impact, I would need insulin later when drinking alcohol and I have never needed to do this. However, I have experienced hypos the day after drinking. Therefore, I reduce my basal insulin which is taken to work with the glucose dripped from the liver throughout the day.[USER=506169]@ianf0ster[/USER] I am intrigued by your theory. Can you provide a reference so I can read more about it?</blockquote>
