low blood sugars

last night i had a few drinks but ate accordingley and everything was ok. all day today i have been low. i have increased a few carbs even pushed my luck had some toblerone but every time i check im dropping between 4.6 to 5.1. i normally run at about 5.2 to 6.2 any ideas i wish it could be like this all the time lol but it gives you a false sense of security i fell like im not diabetic today or am i in for a shock tomorrow when the alcahol dissapears

If it is the alcohol lucky you, as alcohol raises my BG for several days. I feel left out of special occasions when I can't join in.

try coors low carb bear you get a small rise then a big fall so you can eat about 45 mins after a can or so. whisky cuts through anything even potato. however guiness sends me through the roof so horses for corses

I've only tried and tested beer and wine, so maybe I should give spirits a go? a good excuse for a night out methinks.

Red wine is good for lowering BGs so you can treat yourself to a glass when you feel like it.
