The 4 day was a once in a life time and I was totally fine during and after that was months ago, but I normal don’t drink regularly- but last week was a couple of drinks with a takeaway- because the delivery was delayed I had about 3 glasses and that’s the last I remember - apparently I had the the takeaway and carried on the evening
Thank you @LittleGreyCat - nothing has changed since the stag doe - over the last 3 years I have gone from 19 stone to 14 stone - but only been diagnosed with Diebeties since early this year - I have changed eating quite drastically and been on meds - so it’s only the last month that things have “reacted” - very scary - got a blood test soon hopefully it comes back as low as the last
Some years ago whilst on holiday, I had a Chinese meal with a couple of glasses of wine, just a couple. My bloods shot to 26! Everything started drifting, major woo woo, the next day I passed the restaurant as they were taking delivery of the largest container of lyles syrup (treacle) that I had ever seen! I don't think it was the wine that made me woo woo, I no longer eat Chinese food.The 4 day was a once in a life time and I was totally fine during and after that was months ago, but I normal don’t drink regularly- but last week was a couple of drinks with a takeaway- because the delivery was delayed I had about 3 glasses and that’s the last I remember - apparently I had the the takeaway and carried on the evening

If you wish to drink then I recommend stopping the tablets first - talk to your doctor about the gaps in your memory.
I had memory problems with Metformin and statins when I was first diagnosed and stopped taking them as it was frightening me. I do drink one pint of beer a week at the folk club, because I like it now my tastes have altered - also since the tablets, and it has not gone away. I am slowly relearning my songs and have taken up other instruments until I can relearn to play the guitar
No meds for diabetes, but I take Thyroxine, have done for ages.So are you on any meds now? What were/are your blood levels like
Firstly I would like to apologise if this has already been covered,
I was first diagnosed with type 2 in Feb 2017, I went to the doctor feeling tired all the time, they gave me a blood test, went back weeks later sat there and aske why I was there, when I said I was there for my blood results I was told well you know you have diabetes don't you, **Shock** no, well you know what it is, here are tablets take two in the morning and two with meal in the evening (4 x 500mg Metformin) - now since then I have been put on and taken off of glicazide - my average blood on the little tester is anything between 4.3 and 8.1 (high in the mornings) - been told by diabetic expert course leader that I could come off all tablets if hb1 thing comes back as low as it did last time (well in the normal levels for non diabetic).
Now with the back story done,
Drinking - and these tablets - I have been told drinking is ok just eat - I went on a mates stag do (4 days heavy drinking) and I was fine, then just recently after 3/4 drinks it feels like I have had loads more and my memory is going - now the other day I had 3 glasses of red wine - and I can not remember over half the evening, next morning.... now nobody said acted any different I had a meal with people and I carried on drinking, just cannot remember any of it. now with Christmas next month I don't want to be the nominated drive because I have diabetes..
