Alcohol and BG

1

So how does your BG respond to alchohol?

It seems I don't go high when I drink alcohol and eat... alcohol or bolus? Alchohol or bolus? Alchohol has been winning out... :) Not so much, but a couple of cans of beer, or a couple of glasses of wine (am not into the stronger stuff)...

Tempting as it is I am going to end up with a drinking problem if I keep using this as a solution.... So I'm going to try and reduce the alchohol / limit it to social occassions...

And then I'm nervous about night time basal after drinking as fasting can be high or low the next day.... so unpredictability could be an issue..

Being one who resist the temptation to drink on a daily basis and having done so for about 25 years, I want follow up on a quotation from your post.
