[QUOTE="RufusW, post: 1417454, member: 388997"] [FONT=Verdana]Hi there Just joining Forum. We all know, Diabetes is not an exact science so I have learned not to assume because I was fine last time I did 'this or that' that I will be fine next time I do the same. Like you, I am not a big nor regular drinker but do like a glass or 3 with friends from time to time. I now take great care drinking wine as wine ALWAYS plays havoc with my sugars for up to 24 hours following anything more than 2 glasses. I lurch from 1 hypo to another. I always ensure I eat something before bed and keep a banana by the bed as a 'just in case' given the speed with which wine-induced hypos occur with little warning.
