I fancy having a few vodkas tonight. I haven't drank in a while(cos I been feelin so ****) and usually mix with soda water to stay low on calories.

As a newly diagnosed person I am unsure on how this will effect me.

Last blood was 6.8 before low carb dinner.

Sorry I this seems like a dumb question I just don't want to be foolish.

Thanks x

bit late to answer your question, just use good sense, and stay moderate and enjoy your self.
If you like dancing it will be the best way to control things.

Thank you both. Had a glass of champagne and now having a small vodka with sparkling water.

Alcohol lowers the blood sugar.

The more alcohol you drink, the greater the effect.

The effect can be very significant, and the result very serious.

Please watch out, especially when you go to sleep later.
