If so, he'd be much better off drinking water or sugar free pop. The carbs in the beer are putting his BG up and making him thirsty, it's a vicious circle. 10 beers is over 150g of carbohydrate. That's 15 chocolate digestives, enough to make anyone thirsty. I would suggest drastically cutting back on it, or at least injecting for it. Also worth asking your hospital about a carb counting course.</p></blockquote><p></p>
