No I don't think the article is correct .

People with dm have to do what works .

I get a blood test every 3 to 6 mos. and it is't botering me and it helps .

drinking causes your readings go high calories and no food value makes them

go up

I thought this was a good article, based on what an endo told me. He

said they usually recommend diabetics don't drink because their blood

sugar will go low and if they pass out, they could die.

I am not an expert in this field. Drinking always make me feel terrible,

so I drink almost never. But, it never raises my blood sugar, usually

loweres, esp. beer. But, you won't lose any weight when you drink,

according to Atkins on low carb.

I think this happen when you drink on an empty stomach.

I think if you drink moderate then it ok.

Drinking as I understand should not lower your blood sugar . It is hallow

calories so the short term effects should raise and not have a long term

effect of bg .

I'm just not sure if it's good .

--- Yes, the high sugar content does make the sugar esculate.

However, some dr. ok a once in a while drink. 's Lite seemed

ok for our blood sugar, however, I noted that when I had a cranberry,

pineapple drink with absolut, the numbers jumped. That was because

of the high sugar content in the juice. Always the stuff I like, I

can't have!

--- Opposite for me. Sugar esculated on what I had!!! But the Lite

beer was ok. I was still in the normal range with one beer. Guess

everyone's different! Of course I also had eaten dinner not long

before I drank! Dinner was very low carb that night cause I knew I

wanted a drink later. We were away.
