[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1801654, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]It would be truly wonderful :D if the carbs in food, upon drinking alcohol, went straight through the body without being metabolised! But alas, they don't. If they did I would be living my life in bars, permanently, eating fries and pizza (as in NOT the fathead pizza which is delicious don't get me wrong - but the ones you can buy out and about! At bars!) and getting gloriously drunk in the name of combatting insulin resistance :happy:. Sigh. Life with beer, and fries, and pizza. Sorry, I just had to write it again with beer added because it seemed so delightful. What the alcohol does for a type two diabetic, in my understanding, is for the while your liver is processing it your liver is not creating and churning out excess glucose which in its dysregulated/diabetic state falsely believes your body needs, due to that ghastly thing - insulin resistance. So not a delay, but a hold, and what a lovely hold it is. The carbs in the meantime go their merry way through your gut and digestive tract and get turned into our nemesis - glucose. And our pancreas churns out as much insulin as it can I guess, to cope with the glucose, and then we have lots of circulating insulin that our cells say ' no no no - there is already way too much glucose in my cells already, ditto insulin - go away' and is shut off to the glucose and the insulin. So there is the excess - swimming around in our blood. And we wake up and pee first port of call, as our body tries to get some of the excess blood glucose out that way, maybe we pee again not long after, and in the meantime our body is storing as much of the excess glucose as it can as body fat, and in the tissues. Depressing, isn't it :depressed:. Not nearly as much fun as the beer and the pizza. Gee, I miss beer.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
