[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 818957, member: 47217"] I haven't drunk alcohol for a good few years as I have no hypo awareness and adding alcohol into the mix seemed a really dangerous thing to do especially as a lot of my hypos where I went unconscious happened during the night. After using CGM for 4 years and not ending up in A and E for a couple of years I really fancy having a glass of wine. For just a small amount of alcohol - I'm going to try dry white wine- would you do anything different other than leave your basal to take care of it? I'm planning on going very gently because I'm nervous about trying again and don't want any disasters. Any advice on what you do for a small amount of alcohol, rather than a skinful, would be really appreciated. Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
