Morning!

It's probably been asked before but is a glass of white wine ok with Type 2? I don't drink beer except Bavaria 0%. Is that ok?

:?
 
Top of the morning to ya!

I can't see why not! :thumbup:
I myself like a glass or 2 of Cabernet Sauvignon or Australian Chardonnay so when I got diagnosed I asked my G.P and looked around the forums on here about it and there seems to be no adverse affects from having a tipple with type 2,in fact doing so will lower your blood sugar levels a bit if you have your wine with a meal and give you less of a 'Spike',it seems a lot of people on here have found that to be the case,myself included.
 
Hi. There's no problem with having sensible levels of alcohol with T2 assuming you are on the normal range of tablets if you are on tablets (check the leaflet anyway). Alcolhol does tend to reduce blood sugar if anything.
