[QUOTE="shop, post: 299521, member: 42992"] Hi Diva, Its Lucy, sounds like you are having a rough time of it again :( Did you manage to sort the carb counting as this will give you the knowledge to make informed decisions to be able to manage drinking with T1. Prior to the course I would only drink red wine and only 1 glass at a time. Now I am a little more flexible and understand more how different alcohols affect BG. Also how is the thyroid treatment going? If you are slightly overactive then this may speed up the rate at which the alchol is used and therefore more likely to hypo. It must be difficult with 2 little ones but do try and find out about carb counting. I am nearly dancing this morning as feel that things are finaly evening out now other issues have been sorted. I have an appt with my dietician this morning. Please please try and get some help with carb counting not a quick fix and takes alot of perseverance but worth its weight in gold. Google BDEC Online Diabetes Learning Programme to get you started. Best wishes and take care, Lucy xxx :) [/QUOTE]
