Alcohol does not help a diabetic.In fact,it aggravates the problem.Firstly,alcohol just adds useless alcohol to your system without giving any benefit of vitamins,minerals,fiber etc.Yo have to also burn off those extra calories,essential for diabetic.Secondly,all diabetics are prone to peripheral neuropathy and alcohol is known to aggravates the problem.Lastly,alcohol boosts the blood sugar levels immediately after consumption an d after some time the sugar levels may fall alarmingly low.So,your efforts to manage your sugar levels within acceptable range goes for a toss.Keeping in view all these,you have to make judgement
