[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2119028, member: 53162"] You can drink alcohol but as you take insulin you have to watch your blood glucose levels carefully, unfortunately it's not a good combination as alcohol impairs judgement so you are less likely to test and to take more risks, best to avoid if you feel you are unable to stay in control if you do drink. You also have to watch what you drink as most drinks contain alot of sugar which will raise your levels, then the liver has to clean the toxins and will take glucose from your system meaning you can go hypo, it's not a good thing to experiment so early on in your diagnosis.
