LI've had to cut back because I had some scary issues with drink and insulin. One night I corrected without properly thinking (too much red wine) and woke up with a hypo an hour later  (thank god I woke up!). Another time I had a lot of gin which pre-insulin never gave me bad hangovers but I was <4 most of next day and any source of quick sugar was instantly spewed back up. It was a miserable experience and I just feel it's not worth being the party girl I once was. I drink with close family/friends who are great at asking if I've tested or just check how my "numbers are". If I'm high I hit soda/diet tonic (my mixers are never with sugar and I don't drink cocktails) if am high (in 12s) and had wine/spirits i dont correct but and have 10g snack, guaranteed to be no higher then 5-7 next day.We can still have a life but just need to be extra cautious.</blockquote>
