For diabetics, tips on drinking alcoholic beverages
Tuesday, December 23, 2003
The holiday season can offer up temptations that can be risky for those with diabetes.
Diabetics should discuss alcohol consumption with their doctors. Meanwhile, the American Diabetes Association has these tips:
Consume alcohol with food, and sip slowly.
Limit daily intake to one drink for adult women and two drinks for adult men (12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits).
Avoid mixes with sugar.
Test blood glucose regularly, more often if you're also dancing.
Drink with a friend or someone who knows of your condition.

Everyone always says how alcohol turns into sugar, but I never noticed my blood sugar levels rise from drinking beer or wine, any more than consuming the same amount of any other food would. Just remember what you are ingesting; you should avoid the sweet drinks and stick with beer or wine; monitor your blood sugar at the end of the night (at least) and don't get too wasted. The biggest concern for diabetics drinking alcohol is that diabetics normally have an acute awareness of their blood glucose level and how it is trending, and as a result make informed decisions at bedtime: whether to eat something, take insulin, or to do nothing at all. On the contrary, when a diabetic is drunk, they are less aware of their present condition, and like a typical drunk, tend to make erratic, capricious and ill-informed decisions, such as eating 4 slices of pizza and taking 20 units of insulin before bed. That is the true danger. I am an alcoholic who does not drink. I went on a 6 month drinking binge and wound up visited by paramedics and in the hospital 4 times in the last two months of this time, coming within a hair's width of dying due to improper eating and medication choices. My entire system became very fragile, was having severe, life-threatening hypoglycemic episodes even while sober. After the last time it happend, I swore off drinking (over a year ago) and I haven't had any problems since.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

It depends on how well you're managing your blood sugar. Alcohol messes up your normal liver function and throws your whole endocrine system out of whack. If not drinking is not an option, make sure you're taking the best possible care of your blood glucose and drink moderately.
I'm sorry you feel like you have to be like "everyone" else. Wish I could share my twice as much of life's experience with you and teach you how unwise you are being, but I remember what it was like then, so carry on. Just be careful and don't get drawn in to the habit, or you will die an early miserable death like my friend and my mom did. It's not the dying that bothers me, it's the suffering that precedes it. Good luck, and I hope you wise up before it's too late.

Drinking is not an option for a diabetic. You tell your friends, if that's what they really are, that for you to drink is like putting poison directly in your veins. Your true friends will understand and support you. If they don't, look for new friends. It is NOT worth risking your life.
