05 Nov Diabetes and Alcohol
It is a given that people with diabetes should always watch out for food and drinks that they take. But why should they be extra cautious with alcohol?
Alcoholic beverages can significantly lower blood sugar levels to dangerous levels.
Consider these factors
before taking that booze…
-
Is your blood sugar level normal?
-
Does your doctor say that it’s okay?
-
Do you know what to do in case of low blood sugar?
Don’t forget these when you drink:
-
Never drink alcohol on an empty stomach. Drink alcohol only with food.
-
Stay hydrated at all times
-
Do not go over 2 drinks if you are a man, or one drink if you are a woman
