Here are some other ways that alcohol can affect diabetes:--

* While moderate amounts of alcohol can cause blood sugar to rise, excess alcohol can actually decrease your blood sugar

level -- sometimes causing it to drop into dangerous levels.

* Beer and sweet wine contain carbohydrates and may raise blood sugar.

* Alcohol stimulates your appetite, which can cause you to overeat and may affect your blood sugar control.

* Alcohol can interfere with the positive effects of oral diabetes medicines or insulin.

* Alcohol may increase triglyceride levels.

* Alcohol may increase blood pressure.

* Alcohol can cause flushing, nausea, increased heart rate, and slurred speech.

Read Dr. Bernstein's book titled "Dr. Benstein's Diabetes Solutions". He advices what to drink, how much to drink, when to drink and what to eat along with the drink/s.

The book is available on Flipkart/Amazon. His recipes are also very good. Especially the ones which include beef, pork, veal, duck, etc, etc, etc.
