Description:

Can people with diabetes drink alcohol? If patients with diabetes drink, it should only be in moderation and they should avoid drinks that are high in sugar content. Because of the liver effects, low blood sugar is a common problem in people with diabetes who drink alcohol. So a small snack before bedtime may be advisable.

What an amazingly helpful Video! Now I have all the info I need for Saturday when my friends are coming round for some drinks! I can't say no thanks I'm okay after a couple of glasses.

Doctor, thank you for this information. I have been diabetic for 14 years. I do avoid alcohol, but once in a while I love a good glass of red wine with dinner. I am very careful with my blood sugar on those days.
