[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1251729, member: 258692"] You'll need to experiment. Alcohol lowers my BG level - including sweet white wines. Alcohol with fewer carbs lowers it more. (The carbs in the alcohol get processed like any other carb - but the impact of those carbs is counteracted by the fact that my liver gets so preoccupied with the alcohol that it temporarily stops pumping out glucose.) I haven't tried beer (not worth the calorie or carbs, at least for now), but I strongly suspect it would do the same (I only found 3 in a list of 250 beers that come close to the 30 added carbs I can eat while my liver is processing alcohol, rather than pumping out glucose.)
