Message: <blockquote data-quote="plantae" data-source="post: 2603193" data-attributes="member: 565464">I drink beer and haven't really had a problem with high blood sugar from it. Sure it goes high initially but that's expected and I've worked out how much insulin to take. My problem isn't high BSL, it's going hypo. If I have more than two or three (yeah I'm naughty) everything will be cruising along nicely and then my BSL will drop like a rock. My solution, other than giving up beer which maybe I should based on my pancreas issues etc but I like beer, is to eat even more carbs (like chips/crisps). It's counterintuitive but it works for me. This is on the nights where I have more than two beers though. If I have just two beers with my meal then I just inject insulin to cover it and that works. It's the naughty nights where things tend to go haywire... which is probably to be expected hahaEdit: the beer I drink has the nutrition info (carbs is all I'm interested in) published so maybe that makes it easier... not all beers do</blockquote>
