[QUOTE="Cheryl, post: 262565, member: 35617"] Unfortunately Bacardi Breezers & Crabbies Ginger Beer are out, but there is no reason at all why you shouldn't enjoy a drink or three. I wasn't diagnosed until aged 26 and I can say that a hangover with diabetes is far far worse than one without. Therefore I have learnt my limits. I was never one for getting falling over drunk anyway, but there is no way I could ever drink the same quantity that I used to, on occasion, before diabetes. I can drink spirits far easier than beer, wine is fine too. At the pub, diet coke or diet tonic are usually the only diet mixers available, so Pimms jugs are out (which I would love to share with friends in summer) and so is anything with Lemonade. I have to say that I'm rather appalled that a parent of an adult child thinks that they have the right to discuss their adult child's health with an HCP without the adult child's consent. Personally, I don't think that the DSN should have entered into any sort of conversation with your mother without speaking to you first. I'd give my DSN a good talking to for that alone, but that's just me. Being on a pump does make things a bit easier, I consider a temp basal of 95% if I've had a couple too many. Enjoy life! Just be safe. [/QUOTE]
