I'm new to diabetes I'm type 2. I've cut out sugary drinks, cut down on carbs cut out sweets chocolates cakes etc and alcohol but was wondering if I could gave 1 glass of wine at weekend as it's my mums bday??
@trudy1 Beer isn't good for diabetics as most contain a lot of carbs. But spirits and wine are ok. But if you drink white wine the drier varieties are better. I drink red wine and a glass or two is actually supposed to lower your bs levels - but I'm continuing my research into that.
alcohol tends to lower blood sugar but obviously too much is not good for the liver. Having said that I drink a glass of red wine daily - and when I've had more after a night out then blood sugar is lower.
