Hi Jason

I believe the lager with the lowest carb/sugar content is 'Coors lite' but I could be mistaken,there may be others.

I was curious to see what Stella, Heiniken or Carlsberg were!

What's more important is what it does to you.
I had 3 pints of Grolsch and went to 10.1. An hours walk later and I was down to 4.3.

Only tried that once.

Dont forget you shouldnt be looking at carbs so much in alcohol - alcohol will stop your liver releasing sugar possibly leading to hypo. if your doing anything other than sitting and drinking ie walking to pub/dancing/ 'nocternal activities' you need a snack! deal with raised sugars from midday the next day

So should I be looking to make sure I am ketosis as much of the time as possible?

I was told by Paul-1976 that being in ketosis was good

Depends if you are low carbing and trying to lose weight - depending on what type you are and stuff like that.

Actually I said that being in ketosis was good for me for maintaining my weight and my blood glucose levels and many others state the same,I feel better in ketosis as a fat burner as opposed to a sugar burner,my choice and not medical advice,opinion ONLY

I used to drink Stella and Holsten Pils and both send my B/G levels right up unfortunately. I now find that spirits, Gin, Vodka, Brandy etc mixed with Soda and lemon have no effect on B/G levels

Hi Jasonscotland, bad news regarding the beer/lager front I'm afraid as I found out when I was diagnosed 5 years ago. Paul-1976 is correct I believe that the lowest carb lager is Coors lite but I have yet to see it in a pub. I have now given up on beer/lager as they are all too high in carbs for me, I used to drink Stella but no more and Heinaken and Carling will be the same. Try drinking wine or spirits with diet mixers or soda water and have a beer occasionally
