Cocktails & Beverages for People with Diabetes




 

7.Drinking Dos
Stay hydrated — it helps keep you sober. Wear ID that says you have diabetes — a buzz and low blood sugar can look the same. Be careful if you take insulin or another diabetes medication — alcohol can make your blood sugar drop.

 

8.Drinking Don’ts
Don’t drink on an empty stomach. Food helps you process alcohol. Don’t drink your meals. Booze lowers blood sugar. Don’t forget to test. Alcohol can affect your blood sugar for up to 24 hours. Especially test blood sugar before bed to see if it’s under 100. If it is, have a small snack.
