I'm a year down the line and I've not yet perfected this. The low carb diet works for many people so, from experience I would definitely recommend it.I've only just conquered 'the exercise thing' - lazy I know but I was also a bit worried about hypos etc. I took advice from a great thread on here a few days ago which made me finally get off my bum...I'll dig it out for you.As far as drinking is concerned, you can still have a few drinks and enjoy yourself but do try and stay in control, passing out and forgetting to eat before bed is not recommended! If you drink too much you'll probably also find that you have hypos the next day - you'll need to take less insulin and / or eat a bit more carby stuff (brown bread etc). However, after a few bad experiences I've decided to 'drink in moderation' from now on!Take care.Jessie.</blockquote>
