Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
I dont know if its to do with diabetes or simply a symptom of getting older but I can no longer drink like I used to and like you a pint of beer or a couple of bottled beers or a couple of glasses of red and I know I have had enough.

And I just cant handle the hangovers like I used to either :lol:

Very tempted to say that whisky is very bad and you had better send the bottles to me for safe disposal :lol:

I partake about once a week, either scotch or a martini.
Since my BG is around the 17mmol, The effect of lowering my sugar is welcome.
However I am concerned about getting false readings.

Take back what I said about booze being good for blood sugar regulation; it's too unpredictable! I had two cans of cider last night and felt very strange (I have always been able to process large amounts of alcohol despite drinking very rarely) but I was adamant I was not drunk as I never get/have been drunk before. I tested and for the first time it just said 'Lo'. After that I had some jelly babies and Doritos until I came back up to 6. Went to bed and woke up at 19mmol for the first time :( Went too low then too high!

How did the hell did the rum work so well in contrast to the cider? The rum kept me in range for like a day afterwards.
