Type 2 Holidays to beer or not to beer

Any time I have tested after beer, it hasn't raised me much, or at all. That doesn't mean it isn't carby and somewhat inadvisable, but I think the alcohol may offset the carb content to some degree. Try a little, then test- maybe after 1 hr then again after 2 hrs to see what it does to your levels. If it raises you too much, maybe switch to spirits. Spirits drop my BG levels like a stone, so I would probably have a couple of whiskys first then drink my beer. Your mileage may vary, but if you test cautiously and act accordingly, there should be a way for you to enjoy some of your beer. Good luck with it!

Cheers bud . I love whiskey even more , nice Irish single malt is heaven , so no hardship there
 
Haha, love it! My man is a beer lover, his present tipple is half a Marston’s Resolution mixed with half a Brew Dog Nanny State, one of the hoppy-ness, one very low carb (and he’s trying to cut down on alcohol too).

How would walking to a distant bar work, so you’d be doing a bit of exercise before and after. We try to walk 5000 steps to the bar, then 5000 back, for a bit of compensation.

Jaysus , I’m goin on holiday for a rest walk about 12000 steps a day on the building site . Just want to sit around the pool and chill for a week .. prob do some swimming each day but not walk-in that far to the pub
 
So the experiment is inconclusive
Had a few beers and other forms of
Alcohol everyday even had a few chips . Bloods ranged from 4.6 up to 7.4 the high was a dodgy cappuccino I think . But since I’ve come home my blood has been mid 6s to mid 7s but think I might have a lergi caught from the missus . Or stress about my first eye screening . I’ll know by the end of the week , back to work tomorrow. So reality will kick in
