[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 262436, member: 17199"] You are absolutely not being unreasonable! However, it is a good idea for you to discuss how to stay in control whilst drinking. How to adjust for alcohol and ensuring if you do drink when you sleep your BG's are stable through the night. I Personally don't drink often at all, once in a blue moon, but when i do, i go for it.. Through practice and with the pump my BG's are fine whilst drinking, because i know myself and my body enough to know when to correct or when to decrease my basal or how much to eat to sustain a good BG overnight. You shouldn't restrict yourself at all! But you do definately need to have a chat with your Nurse so she can advise you on starting tips for diabetes mixing with alcohol and partying :) [/QUOTE]
