[QUOTE="garrycrone, post: 6704, member: 347"] [b]Re: Diabetes & alcohol[/b] I switched to Holsten Pils a while ago but still felt lousy after a few tins - suspect that was the alcohol content rather than the sugars though. I find Miller Lite ok but I must confess over the years I have actually pretty much given up on alcohol and now choose to drive so no-one questions when I drink pints of soda with slice of lime or lemon (dirt cheap night out!!!). I used to drink pints of diet-Coke but I gave that up as I spent many nights until the early hours staring at the ceiling, wide-awake from the caffeine. I've never tried Low-C; might be worth a go sometime. I have deep sympathy for you - I really miss my Guinness but having been diagnosed four years ago and realising why a few pints appeared to give me a Class 1 hangover (I must have had bonkers bsl levels following five pints of Guinness and a Chinese take-away), your attitude changes. Less alcohol, more simple, soft-drinks (limited cordial splashes etc), go easy on the spirits and you will be surprised how you can get through social evenings without too much stress. Best of luck.
