[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 547604, member: 102150"] Beer is pretty carby. Ideally avoid all carby drinks and mixers. Alcohol will usually keep your blood sugar low on the night and swing high the morning after. If you have carby drinks this means high on the night and super high the morning after. You don't want to be messing with insulin more than necessary while drunk because you may screw it up and you may fail to recognise a hypo and you may fail to treat it correctly. Go easy on your insulin injections, err on the side of caution. Few things are worse than having a hypo you didn't see coming in the middle of a loud packed bar. Do tell your friends about your diabetes, what to look for and what to do, and have at least one person who will be sure you're not left on your own. But as they will be drinking too you can never totally rely on them. It's down to you. I have to mentally "sober up" every hour or two just to check I'm not doing anything too stupid.
