Can I drink this non alcoholic beer if I'm type 2 diabetic?

I note you are on insulin.

There are some carbs in it, and it will depend how much you drink. The nutrition details measure it in ounces rather than litres, so you would have to do some calculations.
 
Light beer calories in the US are almost all alcohol. 4-5g carbs/beer. Non alcoholic beer calories are almost all carbs. Maybe a slice of bread or more per beer.
 
Well, considering how much I'm cheating, I should be pretty good if it's only the equivalent to one slice of bread.

Thanks guys

Yeh but it's a very thick slice :)

Personally I don't see the point of non alcoholic beer if your going to have a beer have a beer. Why just drink carbs.

Some people choose to no longer drink for many reasons but still enjoy the taste (impaired liver, alcoholic, etc).
 
Yes as I said pointless find something else you like and drink that . If your diabetic your getting the taste and the harm of carbohydrates and non of the pleasure derived from alcohol Not just pointless but self destructive to boot.
 
Well, for one thing John, you ARE missing the point (like LouWilk figured out). I not only do not want the alcohol, I don't like the taste of regular beer. So, I drink the non alcoholic beer for the very refreshing drink it is. I also drink it because it's about the only thing I can find that's not so sweet but still carbonated.

I can't drink regular water (a bit of a long story) so I drink carbonated water but, I get tired of drinking it all the time. Flavored carbonated water is pretty non tasty so to speak and if I want more flavor, I need to get stuff with sugar and I am trying not to.

Also, I can't do the fake sugar stuff. It's disgusting.
 
Well then drink it but stop rationalizing the fact that you just plain like it and want to. And obviously the flavor you crave is of beer regular or not all tastes much the same to me that's why I stick to a good malt whiskey and no carbs.

I do drink diet pepsi though so beer flavored water would be OK with me if it didn't have the carbs in it and I liked the taste of beer which I don't.
