OK, the hardest thing for me so far in dealing with my t2 D is dealing with alcohol. I never thought I drank that much, but when I can’t have it, I really miss it. I have cut out my one night cap a day, but I am still doing the Friday night pub night. Giving up sweets (or greatly reducing them) has actually gone ok, but the boose.
I never thought I drank at ALL, but apparently I drank more than I thought I did! I’m at a sports weekend with my kids’ team, we’re at a nice hotel and all the parents had a drink (or more) last night. I was afraid of what it would do to my BGs. I just had sparkling water but I was misssssssssssing my cocktail. The teacher at my diabetes class said you can have alcohol moderately but I think she’s talking about people on insulin who can regulate. I am only on medication and I think my bgs would go through the roof if I drank.
Have you tested after drinking? What happens to your numbers?
