[QUOTE="Upya, post: 4972, member: 5461"] I just wondered how everyone else manages with this. I am newly diagnosed with type 2 and I have been finding the diet ok but alcohol a real stumbling block. When I first got diagnosed, I was getting daily mmol/l readings of 21+ which I managed to get down to 11 after 2 weeks and my first HBa1C was 12.8. However I had a few beers on Sunday watching football and my readings where 23.7 the next day and I felt like total ****. Is this the end of my lager drinking days? Is there a lager brand that I can have? Will vodka and pure orange juice be a better alternative (can't stand diet cokes or tonic)? How does everyone else cope? I gave up smoking in Jan 07 without to much bother, but I am really struggling with this and would appreciate any advice you can give me. Many thanks in advance. Lee [/QUOTE]
