By the way, your comment on alcohol "wearing off" after a few hours. Doesn't seem to work like that. I think that by the time the alcohol stops affecting the liver, the carbs have either been digested or otherwise dealt with by the body, and my BGs NEVER take a hit. I've tested at many stages after, even next morning, still always lower. Perhaps the liver DOES process the carbs, but more slowly if it's dealing with the alcohol at the same time. The sugar rises are therefore far slower and dealt with more easily by our decining Pancreii (is that a correct plural?) I kept a graph of it all, and it amazed me.
Still agree, as I said earlier, that it's no good swapping diabetes for Cirrhosis! And I think you need more than a sniff of the bottle for it to work.
Now, back to this party, who's doing the low-carb sausage rolls? No bramley apple ones though Defren!

That is some drop!
Are you singing and telling everyone you love them :wink:

Sadly not. Perhaps I need to get out more :lol: I remember I used to do some rather embarrassing things, I also remember a friend and a Porsche, perhaps the least said about that the better :lol:
Some things are best kept to ourselves. Not that I have ever got up to anything unsavoury

I don't want to get in a fight with Dr Grazer, the world's leading expert on alcohol-led diabetic control, but I thought that your liver "buffered" the carbs by turning them into fat in your liver for later processing. This is why alcoholics often suffer from liver cirrhosis.
My liver sure buffered one hell of a lot of carbohydrate in Holland a couple of weeks ago. That's why I'm never drinking again (again) :sick:
