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.

Some anti-diabetic medication may react with alcohol causing unwanted side effects.

Alcohol may ultimately damage the liver (fatty liver / cirrhosis), nerve (neuropathy), blood (ketoacidosis) heart muscle (alcoholic cardiomyopathy), pancreatic cancer, etc. even though it has some beneficial effects on the heart.

No booze in Gujarat ??? Maybe, not officially. Available easily at most hooch joints. If you cannot get it, just ask the cops. They will tell you where to get it. Might even provide it for you at a premium. Hindustan is filled with corrupt hypocrites.

Can u stop abruptly for a week ? Take drink one week .Do stopping & starting alternately. In the mean time reduce daily doze. You can rid of alcohol if you decide

Don't stop drinking, Mr Singh. Just cut out carbs. Eat tandoori chicken and chicken tikkas with your whiskey, but avoid the parathas, please. Cheers !!

There is an easier way to bring down your liquor capacity; take the juice of two fresh lemon daily.

If you are diabetic & are trying to compensate sexual weakness, you are on the wrong road. A wrong road takes any one to a wrong destination.

Alcohol is produced by fermenting starch & sugar, I think.
