[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1439287, member: 374531"] Lagers spike me like crazy, pretty much like lucozade would do, and there's always a temptation to over-bolus for it, but the flip-side is that it can drop savagely later on. It's to do with how it interferes with how the liver works. I'd keep an eye on it as the evening progresses, maybe a small micro-bolus of 1 or 2 units here or there to save getting too crazy high, but always be aware that if it spikes and then flattens out at a peak, it might be the pre-cursor to a sudden drop. Definitely make sure you have some complex carbs before going to bed to ward off night hypos. In fact, it's one if the occasions where the delayed pizza effect of pizza, fish and chips etc is actually quite useful. By the way, 10 pints is crazy: be sensible and stick to 7 or 8 max! [/QUOTE]
