[QUOTE="PseudoBob77, post: 1012588, member: 198770"] Yes, the answer to that is none. After all the alcohol i've drank in 25 years vodka and diet soda doesn't affect my blood sugar (no carb or calories), however, beer, ales, red wines etc play havoc with blood sugar. If you really want a drink to make it go crazy, sambuca, its like pure alcoholic glucose, I remember doing a blood test right after and it makes it spike. Funny thing was my girlfriend at the time, a non diabetic spiked higher than me. Find a non sugary liquor alternative that doesnt send things on a tangent, but that depends if the alcohol makes you hypo. Best thing is to drink infrequently if you cant stabalise your blood sugar after experimenting with all ales and beers. It's all trial and error, you'll figure it, same with fast food and eating out.
