[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 1735362, member: 467776"] I am more considered in both what and how much I drink then before, and I suppose as that means I drink less than before it could be termed a positive of T1! On one of the recent chilly days, I was remembering when that would of seen me out for a nice walk in the country then a nice pub lunch with a few real ales and a warming shot of drambuie to finish. But too many beers means too many carbs, and drambuie is basically whisky and sugar! I can still do the walk, eat almost the same lunch, but I find lagers like Bud Light and of course spirits with diet mixers, wine all easier to manage now... and I just don't get as inebriated as before so that I can keep an eye on things. In fact with red wine especially I find it keeps me low, even through the next morning. Last night for example I had a couple of glasses and all morning today struggling to get above 5 even though I cut my insulin at breakfast as I knew what would happen! [/QUOTE]
