I am 23 years old and Type 1 diabetic in a honeymoon period.
Alcohol acts in the body to shut down the glucose-producing capacity of the liver.
The moderate use of alcohol should not produce long term problems such as fatty liver, however, moderation is emphasized. In addition, low blood sugar and seizures are short term hazards of drinking alcohol due to the shutting down of glucose production I mentioned first. It is a good idea to talk to you doctor about including alcohol in your life. There may be other considerations that your health care team may want to discuss with you. Comments and Feedback .
