Jela gives you some great information, but there is one more item to consider as a diabetic when drinking wine. Your body will naturally process the alcohol in wine, turning it into sugar. This is in essence the reverse of the fermentation process which turned the sugar into alcohol. What this means is that you must monitor your blood glucose level closely after drinking.
My wife is diabetic and a pumper. If you have an insulin pump, many can be programmed with different sorts of boluses which can adjust your insulin intake to compensate for large meals, very fatty meals, or alcohol intake.
It is a good idea as a diabetic to limit your drinking of any alcoholic beverage (probably good idea for the rest of us, too). Wine is great because it offers other benefits and goes great with food. My wife is not a heavy drinker, but we enjoy visiting winerys and often have wine with meals when we eat together at home and sometimes in restaurants. She has had no problem with adjusting her insulin needs when she drinks wine with meals.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/diabetestreatment
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH1TX to find out what all the fuss is about.

There is not that much sugar in dry wines, so go ahead and have your glass a day of white or red dry wine. I would stay away from semi sweet or sweet dessert wines, because they contain either naturally derived sugar from grapes or added sugar.
You only have 1,75 g of carbs in one glass of red wine; 1,44 g of carbs per glass of rose and approximately 0,82 g of carbs per glass of white wine.
It's not that much as you can see.
If you still worry about your sugar intake every day, maybe you can get a free account on www.fitday.com where you can add all the foods you eat during a day and then you will get Calorie total, Carbs total, Fat... You can also keep track of your every day physical activities on this web site.
Hope this helps!

Bar is correct! Alcohol lowers blood sugar so always eat when you drink and check your sugars. Moderate drinking for people with diabetes is just fine. Cheers!

Hey there,
Diabetes is a chronic disease and I don't think you can reverse it. That said I read this interesting book http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=549
that gave me a lot of useful tips about my disease and also a different perspective on the best therapeutical approach. I think you should read it too.
