[QUOTE="JayBee28, post: 2468011, member: 549078"] An odd question….I was diagnosed Type 2 in Mid September, HBA1C of 56. I take no medication, eat very low carb have lost 1 stone 9 pounds so far. I had a blood test 2 months after diagnosis and my HBA1C had gone down to 48. I’m going in the right direction. Pre diagnosis, I probably drank 2 bottles of wine a week, now it’s just 2 small/medium glasses if that. I was partial to a gin and tonic, but haven’t had any since diagnosis. I find a glass of very dry white wine doesn’t affect my glucose levels. Occasionally, maybe once a week or every 2 weeks, I’d love a G&T. I’d have slimline tonic and a flavoured gin such as Strawberry and Lime or Rhubarb. Does anybody here have the occasional gin, if so does it affect your levels at all? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
