[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 1357076, member: 343949"] Dear friends, I believe excessive alcohol consumption may have been partly to blame for my diagnosis as type 2; I basically lived on a diet of alcohol and carbs. After diagnosis, I lost a lot of weight on a teetotal, LCHF diet (220lbs to 167lbs). My first actual HbA1c put me as just pre-diabetic- 6.0. The odd thing is that spirits seem to drop my bg considerably: I have been drinking gin and maotai (strong chinese liquor) and eating snacks tonight, and just did a blood test out of guilt for all the pistachio nuts and empty calories I've taken in- the result was only 4.3. I was expecting something in the 11+ range Now, my point is this: I can't imagine alcohol is good for me, and I know it taxes the liver, but could some other moderate to heavy drinkers share some straight information regarding alcohol intake?
