[QUOTE="milesrf, post: 99553, member: 13629"] Wine actually has a mixture of effects. The alcohol part makes the liver delay converting glycogen into glucose, but it also contains fruit sugars which usually include both glucose, which makes your meter rise quickly, and fructose, which tends to increase insulin resistance and therefore make type 2 diabetes worse, although more slowly. I've seen elsewhere that some diabetics recommend choosing only dry red wine, since it contains less fruit sugar. I've forgotten the reason for choosing red instead of white, but it was probably less important. The liver also converts excess carbs into saturated fat and cholesterol - one of the reasons why low fat diets, with no other restrictions, aren't a very good idea. [/QUOTE]
