Answer 1

No alcohol has zero calories-rum is distilled from sugar cane. But all pure distilled liquor-rum,whisky,gin,vodka-has zero carbs. However, while the alcohol is in your blood, your body is burning it rather than fat-if you are doing the Atkin's diet, keep that in mind.

Answer 4

Yes, provided you know how to manage your blood sugars, do not have severe diabetic complications like kidney disease, and do not take medications that can interact with alcohol. Do not drink if you have frequent or severe low blood sugar episodes. Although, you must remember that just because it is "carb free", does not mean it will not affect you blood sugar. Usually alcohol with carbohydrate content such as beer, will cause you blood sugar to rise, followed by a drop hours later. In this case (Vodka, rum, etc.), your main concern would be an unexpected drop in your BG levels. This is only a concern if you take insulin or oral anti-hyperglycemic agents. Make sure you test your BG levels PRIOR to drinking, taking into account how much insulin (if applicable) and food you have in your system. Test regularly while and after drinking to make sure you are not dropping low, and have a snack with carbohydrate. Make sure your BG level is in a safe upper normal range before bed, and have an additional snack if needed. Always carry glucose gel on you for low blood sugar and wear a medical ID that says you have diabetes. Make sure you do not get so drunk that your are not able to stay conscious or manage your blood sugar properly. This can be an emergency if you pass out. It is best to limit alcohol, although those who are otherwise healthy and have good control and management can often drink safely in moderation. If you need further info, check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to drink, and see a diabetes educator or dietician to learn how to consume alcohol safely if you still have questions. Everyone is different, but what I said generally applies to most. Young Type 1 diabetics are usually otherwise healthy, so they can "safely" drink provided they take precautions to avoid low blood sugar and avoid DKA. Type 2 diabetics often have complications such as advanced heart disease, and many take medication which can interact with alcohol. It really depends on your type of diabetes, if you have complications, take certain medications, and if you are a Type 1 or an insulin using Type 2, you know how to adjust your insulin and food intake acording to your blood sugars. I am not saying alcohol is good for anyone, especially someone with diabetes, but rather that a blanket "no" or "yes" is not the answer. Cheers!
