[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1445676"] I do an instant pump for each half (I found drinking halves against other guys pints keeps my alcohol intake down) For about 8 or 9 grams carbs: a typical pint of lager has about 17g carbs. I don't reduce this because it is alcohol. As I mentioned previously, I take the "alcohol affect" into consideration when I drink more than a pint and a half. When I have a "serious night out", I also reduce my temporary basal for 6 hours or so before I go to bed. This strategy works for me but it may take some trial and error to take into consideration your size and "alcohol resistance". If I find myself drinking another alcoholic drink, I find wine does not contain sufficient carbs worthy of insulin but need to reduce the basal before bed. And rarely drink spirits or cocktails because they usual come with sweet mixers which just confuses the issue. However, I have not changed the way I manage my diabetes since I changed from MDI to pump. [/QUOTE]
