Message: <blockquote data-quote="Emmotha" data-source="post: 670270" data-attributes="member: 118431">I’ve tried and tested getting drunk a few times, most recently Saturday night. I would say it’s a completely individual thing, and you can still get drunk – but not so drunk you lose control because you still need to manage your blood sugars. I was drinking wine (and the odd shot) and was pretty drunk. However, I knew when to stop and I was out with a very trusted group of friends who know how to read my blood sugars and take action. I was also out with another T1 so we kept ordering each other water to stay hydrated. I generally try to avoid sugary drinks, so dry white or a spirit and sugar free mixer. This way I don’t need to worry about the drink putting my BG levels up and I can more easily manage going low with carbs in food, without having any fast acting sugar from the drink in my system. Then I can also have carbs at the end of the night to stop any overnight hypos.</blockquote>
