[QUOTE="shedges, post: 111325, member: 10554"] Bethlain, It's not quite as simple as that. Alcohol has the effect of lowering your blood sugar in the hours after consumption. It is not a case of beer making it go up and spirits bringing it down. If you drink beer all night and do not make any adjustment for that fact in your carbohydrate intake and insulin doses, and you will still see a drop in blood sugar levels. [/QUOTE]
