[QUOTE="ChrisWoodward, post: 553384, member: 106875"] Yeah but you shouldnt actually take insulin for alcohol because of the possible lows in the hours after. A pint of normal cider has 24g of carbs in it and a pint of normal beer has 8g. So 5 pints of cider for me for example should really be 5 units of insulin but I have always been told not to take insulin for it and although I get an initial high my sugars settle back down within 3-4 hours.
