Hi all,since being diagnosed with type 2 have given up cider and started drinking holstein pils,Drinking this has been ok as my sugar levels have been alright.
the problem is they are expensive to buy.I have looked at coors light,but the only information i can get is that each bottle contains 5% carb.Please help

I drink coors light.
I can't remember the amount, but it is one of the lower ones, and doesn't seem to affect me.
I could only say try it, and test afterwards, as even then you may react differently to others.

I drink one of the cans with some vodka. The carb content from what I have read is half that of an ordinary lager. Only one because of the carb content and I don't think four or five of them will be as good as regular lager taste wise.

From a diabetic point, rather than the usual lifestyle argument, alcohol isn't ruled out.
We had a thread on here, Boozing, about it.
In fact, I find, personally, a glass of red wine actually helps lower my BS in the morning.

Spirits aren't too bad either.

The effect on your liver is a different issue though.

I too drink coor lights there is roughly 4.6g or carbs per 330ml bottle. This has been worked out using the nutrtional info from american coors light so it could be slightly different. One thing i liked about my last holiday in the U.S. the large variety of light beers and that they put the full nutritional info on the cans/bottles like our food over here. I don't know why beer is exempt from doing so over here. Even better is michelob ultra which only has 2.6g per 330 bottle

Coors Light is the only beer I can have. It's got about 5g per bottle, so 3 is about the limit for me.

Coors Light and Michelob Ultra have always had little effect on me. Bizarelly Guiness also doesn't seem to have too drastic an effect on my blood sugar.

Micholob ultra is about the best but only 3.5 alcohol I usually have a couple Holstein or corona premium which give the affect I seem to keep level down but went on fosters it sky high
