Message: <blockquote data-quote="catapillar" data-source="post: 1270586" data-attributes="member: 32394">[USER=340050]@joshluck[/USER] werent you only diagnosed type 1 7 days ago?It's perfectly possible to drink alcohol safely as a person with type 1. But 7 days in you have just been diagnosed with a chronic condition which is quite complicated to get your head around and difficult to manage on boring bog standard days. You aren't easing yourself in gently by adding alcohol to the mix 7 days in.If you have just got in, I would suggest a complex carb snack before going to bed - a slice of toast maybe - and making sure you set an alarm to test in 4-5 hours rather than sleeping through till 11. Also make sure whoever you are with knows the symptoms of a hypo and what to do to treat it.It must have been a stressful week and you certainly deserve a drink, but take it easy on yourself - maybe get your blood sugar in normal range and learn a bit more about managing type 1 (and managing type 1 with alcohol) before trying booze experiments again.Hope it was a nice night <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
