[QUOTE="Iambackwards, post: 93956, member: 20825"] Depends on the alcohol you drink. When I was diagnosed at 18 I went from drinking beer and alchopops to only drinking vodka with diet coke or coke zero, pepsi max etc. I treat alcohol like it's another form of insulin. If I drink, I take less insulin and make sure to eat enough carbs because it drops my sugar level a lot. Also stops your liver from dumping glucose into your blood when you hypo, which can be kind of dangerous but if I have taken my basal in the morning and there is no bolus in my system, every 4th drink or so I'll get a drink that has sugar in it to keep up with the basal insulin. I thought about cutting out alcohol all together, but like it too much and I never get high sugar levels from it, only some morning lows. [/QUOTE]
