[QUOTE="Dcooperxyz, post: 2644572, member: 141753"] This is a subject i jave a great deal of experience with. The first problem is that all beer/ larger are very different, and its not easy always to find out how many carbs are in your favourite tipple. I can say that the lowest carb draft beer ive found is Carling at 6 g per pint roughly and interestingly a similar larger like fosters is double and real Ale even more. Anyway,my way of dealing with beer is pre bolus at least half an hour before as all beer spikes me really really quickly. Plan ahead but if you are gonna have a lot of beer/ alcohol eat something before u go to bed as the alcohol will lower your bg during the night because the liver is dealing with the alcohol and doesn’t kick out glucose as it normally would.
