I'm going out tomorrow with some work friends and wondered if a few Malibu's would be a serious issue with my relatively new diagnosis of LADA?

Is there anything I can do that enables me to have a drink without going too high or low?

So far I'm not on insulin - managing through diet only but levels have fluctuated more recently so I expect insulin at my next DSN appt.

Thanks xx

If I have any form of liquer-ish alchohol, I have to bolus.

Re: Alcohol!

I was told alcohol always gives you an artificial high then a drop of sugars a few hours later

Re: Alcohol!

Should I scoff something carby before bed to avoid a drop in sugars overnight?

Re: Alcohol!

It's a good idea to have a snack with alcohol and test your BS prior to going to bed. Alcohol can initially raise sugars but then lower them.

Re: Alcohol!

Thank you for your replies. I'm thinking of having chips before bed; any excuse for chips!
