The main thing to allow us a drink or two from time to time is to know if we have our diabetes under control, that is, do we know how foods, drinks etc?This is very important since if we are uncontrolled alcohol can worsen our control and suffer imbalances in the glucose.
The second is not to suffer nervous damage or high blood pressure, since this also worsens with its consumption, so it is best that our doctor approaches us.
And the third, is we know the effects of alcohol in people with diabetes?If you control yourself, do not suffer nervous damage or high blood pressure and you know its effects you can afford from time to time.If not ... here for those who know or those who do not go some tricks and useful information ...
1. Alcohol is like a roller coaster in our body, so we must measure each two hours.That is, before the first cup we measure and then every two hours.Between 100-150 I do not click anything and I take it, if I am above, suppose that 200, I click a fast insulin unit.At two hours we measure again, now we have between 100-150, I take a handful of nuts, which fits in a fist, if I am in 200, 1 unit, if I am above, let's imagine that 250 skewed me2 And stop drinking, if applicable it by water.
2. A Russian mountain Why?Because alcohol first goes up the sugar but then the low, for it or at least in my case I never leave my glucose below 150 when I drink some alcohol, in case I get off that I do time to go back easily and the descentI don't know that of insulin, making me severe hypoglycemia.
3. I don't drink alcohol, it's the first thing we have to keep in mind.We do not drink regularly and if you are a teenager or you are in the twenties, where consumption is more frequent, your friends must be aware of it.What did?Now it is much easier, since over the years you grow and no matter whether you drink or not, the important thing is to be in fun, but when you are smaller the pressure or temptations are larger.The first thing and when they do “bottle” I drink tail zero or light and then in the disco with music I take, if I feel like a drink a lot, although most of the time I do not take it because I think “for a better I do notI take and have the sugar well. ”Sometimes I have also done it upside down, first the cup, then the Light tail.
But what if you are a business person or are you in meetings, lunches, dinner many times?I recommend red wine, its assimilation is much better and it affects us much less, if you have good control, two glasses of wine hardly affect our glucose, but do not consume white wine, it has too much glucose and there it shows from the first.
4. Do not drink anything if you have not eaten, it is essential not to suffer hypoglycemia and before sleeping you have to control and take some hydrate, for example a skimmed yogurt or two or three cookies.The drop by alcohol occurs at approximately 10 am after the last cup, although that can happen before if we have danced a lot.
5. Many say that the cup with sugary soda, it does not work for me, I always with light and as nuts between.
6. Alcohol and soft drinks:
Beer: Although they have few degrees, they rise more that lower the sugar.To me a Heineken type bottle I upload a unit, so if I take it, I have to prick, since they have carbohydrates like barley.If the baby in glass, two normal beer vessels also suppose an insulin unit.
White wine: it has a lot of sugar, especially the fruits.I love it, but I never take it, I get too out of control, if you drink white wine, study how it affects you.
Red wine: two wine glasses do not affect my glucose, not passing from 3, byExample When I go to an leisure or work dinner, where they are long periods of time accompanied by food, it is usually drink more than we should.We know that consumption is estimated in 2 glasses in men and one in women, whether diabetic or not, but we must be realistic and know that sometimes we pass that limit.If it happens to you, and if it is very occasionally, nothing happens because one day you take three, but be aware that you can get drunk and that you should not allow it.
Geneva: It is a good option, but not with tonic, the tonic has the same glucose as a sugary soda, so if they are with light tail even if it is not so rich.
Whiskey: For me the best option, I am doing very well when I take one of these, since I take it with light tail and it affects me.The amount I take are always two fingers horizontally and in the equal bars and the waitress or the waiter I tell them when they have to stop.
Ron: You better not drink it, it has a lot of sugar and even if you take it with light sodas, it is much worse for our self -control.
Summer red: I love it !!It is what I always take, two fingers of horizontal wine and light refreshment.I take "the homemade" since it has no sugar is white, lemon or orange.Never prepared, since if they have, although the other day I discovered one of Sandevid that is zero sugar and zero alcohol and the truth is very good, I took it to the beach.In bars…You must make sure that it is not prepared and if it comes out of tap that I specify that it is refreshing and if I may teach you the labeling, that it does not be ashamed!Think is your health.I always say it like this “apologize but that the summer red does not come prepared, but put the wine and the soda, since I have diabetes.How much to the soda you have, what is it?(If the homemade tells me) Do you know if it is zero? "If you are not sure I ask with Blanca that you never have, if it is zero I ask with orange or lemon.
Cocktails: I have never tried one, I have tried them a sorbit but I have never taken any, they have a lot of sugar and the truth is that I do not give me any sorrow, I prefer my sugar in 100, than a cocktail and a 300 in my meter.
Rebujito: that typical drink at the fairs of Spain.Manzanilla + Sevenup.Both have sugar and a lot, as they are very small glasses or even pacifier glasses, although I do not drink it, when I have done it it has been when it was low of sugar, since the percentage of alcohol is very low as it is mixed in the jugAnd with the ice and everything is more sugar than anything else and I have removed the craving.But be careful, it has glucose muuucha.
