I'm 18, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes only a month ago so I'm new to this all. I didn't understand how harmful alcohol could be to a diabetic. Went out with some friends and drank quite a bit. Towards the end of the night I began to feel light headed and confused but I just believed that it was the effect of the alcohol.
Long story short I passed out and woke up with 2 paramedics telling me I went into hypo and stuffing my mouth with glucogel.
I was never told anything about alcohol when I was diagnosed. Can I drink alcohol as a diabetic? Should I avoid it completely? What can and cant I drink? help
