[QUOTE="dylt1, post: 969265, member: 205030"] In the coming months you will realise that alcohol does not really affect your blood sugars if you stick to diet coke and vodka etc. I went to a festival a few weeks ago newly diagnosed and had the best blood sugars I've had since diagnosis. All the walking and dancing keeps your sugars down. Just watch out you might not even need bolus insulin the day after drinking, I could have some chips and with walking and the night before alcohol my sugars never went over 7. I only reduced my basal from 16 units to 12 units of lantus and it seemed to work ok. Just make sure you take enough supplies with you. In the night I would carry a regular bottle of pepsi around with me if I was dancing a bit more just to sip on every 15-20 mins. Don't worry about it too much and most of all, have fun! p.s. lucky you getting tickets! [/QUOTE]
