Question if anyone can help? its something i seem to struggle with, so obviously at the minute im being told to stick to a specific level of units at certain meal times so for my break i take 8 units.. i only had a bowl of cereal which i reckon was an average size portion. its been 2 hours and im hungry again but im never sure if its the case where im not supposed to eat? or is it im not supposed to eat a certain amount of carbs until i can inject more insulin?  and secondly, im off out later tonight my friends are wanting to go to the pub as it was my birthday yesterday. Im not a big drinker by any means im usually happy having a couple and thats me but one thing is i like the worst kind of drinks a diabetic could have and thats cocktails! this will be the first time since i have been diagnosed where im probably going to not have diet coke all night and actually have a couple of drinks. when i asked the nurse she told me she strongly suggests i dont drink at all ever, after i told her thats not going to be the case she said to make sure i have a meal before i go out and make sure i eat when i come home. is there anymore advice so that my sugars aren't in the 20s over night ? ( i'm aware the answer of not drinking is the most sensible) but i will be out for probably a handful of hours and in that time will at most have 3-4 alcoholic drinks.thanks again for the feedback/help its really comforting to be able to gain knowledge from people who i know have gone through the same challenges.</blockquote>
