I should probably caveat that at 43 with two young kids, my definition of "heavy drinking" is much different than in my 20's, plus from this one night it appears low carb had turned me into a total lightweight!Anyway, I generally fingerprick test at a high 4s or low 5s range before meals. It's very consistently in this range and has been for quite some time now. This was the same the day after drinking, however from the next day I tested in the low 6s before meals for 3-4 days. No change in diet or carb intake. Could it be that while your liver is processing alcohol, it isn't dumping glucose, so its glucose stores build up and these are then released over the following days? Is that what you meant by a "rebound"? Don't know if that's a thing, but it's the only theory I could come up with.</blockquote>
