Use Of Alcohol People with diabetes may drink alcohol if their diabetes is under control, providing 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, save calories by limiting how much beer, wine, or other beverages mixed with alcohol you drink. The mixers used in some drinks are high in sugar and calories. If you use insulin, limit alcohol to two drinks per day.
