[QUOTE="RichWatt, post: 290592, member: 42696"] I've read about this 'priority' system before and it's confused me a bit. Can you explain a bit more: as I understand it, you should as a T1 typically have something to eat before having a drink, but wouldn't you inject with rapid acting insulin for that meal? But then if yo've injected insulin and then had a drink with your meal surely you'd just have a hypo... followed by a carb spike and hour or 2 later once the alcohol has warn off?!? I'm recently T1. I really want a drink with my friends, but am a bit scared due to my lack of experience (before diabetes I was quite a drinker - and I miss the social side now) There's a big music event next weekend and all my friends will be drinking and I don't want to be the odd one out. Is it safe to get drunk as a T1 - I'm not talking legless, just enough to relax. [/QUOTE]
