It is okay for people with diabetes to drink alcohol if their diabetes is under control and they do not drink too much.
Alcohol can make blood sugar levels fall too low.
Therefore, people with diabetes are advised to drink alcohol with a meal, not by itself. Alcohol has calories in it. If weight is a problem for you, limit how much beer, wine or liquor you drink to save calories. The mixers used in some drinks are also high in sugar and calories. If you use insulin, limit alcohol to two drinks per day, drink only with a meal and do not reduce your usual amount of food.
