Any suggestions on which beer is good to drink without sending sugar threw the roof

normal beer is liquid bread, as you know
drink a carbohydrate modified beer, or reds, dry wine and spirit

I am of the opinion that the sugar in a pint of beer, while fairly high, is not a major problem. The problems start with the second, third, fourth, fifth etc.

I don't know many beer drinkers, including carb counters, who stop at one so they might be best advised to look up how many carbs there are in a gallon.

Last time I said this a few posters wrote in to say that they don't drink at all. Obviously this is not aimed at them.

I don't know, some info is suss, how many drink water between drinks, when they can't see straight? but a big drink before you pass out is a good idea

Drink water between each drink. Put a water bottle on your pillow before you go out. Pound it before you pass out.

Seanpaul, as your a newly diagnosed type 1 you should speak with your DSN about staying safe when drinking alcohol, as you've found out beer can raise bg levels but it also lower them many hours later (much like all alcohol) which can result in hypo's.
