Diabetes and Alcohol
Diabetes and Alcohol
Remember to discuss the issue of using alcohol with diabetes with your physician and dietitian. Alcohol is high in energy, meaning lots of calories
If your dietitian has said alcohol is permitted:
- Use when you have your diabetes is under well control
- Drink in moderation and sip slowly
- Do not drink on an empty stomach
- Try to avoid drinking sweetened mixes, liquers and wine coolers
- Upon taking insulin, do not substitute food with alcohol
- Wear Diabetes Identification like a Medic-Alert bracelet when away from home, so others can react to assist you
