How are you dealing with going out and alcohol? Are you not drinking at all or just some specific drinks?
I have noticed, that if I am drinking my bloodsugar is okay the next morning but the day later it is higher then normal. I am eating low carb, but befor I go out i eat a little bit more and things like eggs, cheese..
Thanks for your help!
 
I find alcohol can put my blood sugar down so I nibble carby things like crisps or savoury biscuits when I drink. I usually drink wine, but it can vary.

I'd never drink a huge amount in one go because I'd be worried about masking the symptoms of a hypo.
 
Hi Swissgirl,

I'm getting the same thing as you; not a huge rise the following day, but a rise nonetheless. One small glass of wine doesn't make much of a difference but two does.

These days I stick to one glass every other day and drink loads of water. Occasionally I'll have two if it's a special occasion and always with a meal.
