If I was having spirits and a low carb mixer, I'd do the same. The reason I avoid sugary mixers is they can, for me, give a false impression that my blood sugar is ok and then I'll drop later. If I'm drinking in the evening, I often set an alarm for around 1 or 2am just to make sure I'm not going low.I'm not a big beer drinker so I tend to stick to small bottles or half pints and find that I don't go high with those (but don't need any carbs with them)Baileys - I've found a small glass is ok for my sugars, but that's just me.</blockquote>
