Beverages containing alcohol are converted into fat and are high in
calories. People with diabetes should drink alcoholic beverages sparingly and
only if their diabetes is in good control. Diabetics should limit their alcohol
intake to 2 drinks once or twice per week. One drink is measured as 12 ounces of
beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1 1/2 ounces of distilled liquors. Avoid sweet
liqueurs or sweet mixes. The symptoms of hypoglycemia and intoxication are
similar (thick tongue speech, shaking, staggering walk, mental confusion etc.).
People may confuse these symptoms and ignore or delay treatment of diabetic
insulin reactions. I recommend diabetics carry or wear something that indicates
they are a diabetic and what medication they currently take (insulin or pills).
If you are a Type I (Insulin dependent) diabetic or Type II (non-insulin
dependent) diabetic and taking an oral medication, NEVER DRINK ON AN EMPTY
STOMACH. Alcoholic beverage can rapidly lower the blood sugar, causing
insulin reactions. If a person chooses to drink, always drink an alcoholic
beverage with food. A glass of wine or beer with a meal can be figured into your
daily meal plan. Consult with your local doctor or dietician.
