[QUOTE="StevieBoy, post: 155764, member: 29104"] Hi My understanding is that alcohol is one of the few nice things that lowers BG levels, as it slows down the liver and hence slows the production of glucose. However, I also understand that alcohol can lower your BG too much and if you are on insulin it could cause a hypo. I have also heard it said that a couple of heavy nights in a row and you will pay for it and your BG levels will suffer. I personally was diagnosed 2 months ago and had my first drink since then at the wekend at a wedding. Was a bit more drunk than I planned to be but my BG levels were fine afterwards and the next day(relief). Hangover was less enjoyable though........... [/QUOTE]
