Diabetes and alcohol

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.

What calls white wine are sweet wines, it is referring to drinks like Moscatel, chamomiles ...

What determines the carbohydrates of the wine is the type of grape with which it is made, not if its color is dark or white.
As in everything you have to read the nutritional label, which for that they carry it.
And carry carbohydrates.
To say that 2 drinks of red wine do not affect glycemia is: -b

It is an unconsciousness to drink alcohol with light drinks
Alcohol takes very little to be present in the blood and the nuts take a long time to take effect, if you also take a handful they will not help you to prevent any low that you are fair of blood glucose. Alcohol will put a meteoric descent.
That is why sugary drinks are advised.

There is the Light tonic ... it must be that they do not sell it much.Or there is no desire to put time on the Internet.

That I know the rum does not have carbohydrates, although it is made with sugarcane that does not mean that it has carbohydrates: Link

The Summer Tinto La Casera, without alcohol, has 4 g of carbohydrates per 100 ml.
that is 1 glass is 1 ration of HC: Link
Why are we going to look for the link to the product in question?
but we chafa the beautiful post

Cocktails are about 6 million .... Many of them without carbohydrates.

And the auction is not to remember, because it is always mandatory in these cases, that alcohol hypoglycemia is the most dangerous thing for someone with diabetes, because the glucagon does not work, the liver is very entertaining in its treatment with alcohol as foralso metabolize glucagon.

It is as important to explain alcohol as glucagon.

And I am already very old to discuss both on the Internet ... [-((

I drink from time to time when I go out and as Owash says alcohol with light drinks is very dangerous, at least in my case. I always drink with sugary drinks

When I leave glasses more than once I take cocktels and the truth is a matter of controlmoderation.
We should not pass, but if one day it gives you some drinks the main thing for me is not to do without having eaten and then control to avoid scares, which as the compisGlucagon, and better avoid scares;)

Let's see guys.Move.I have never drunk and I am confused.I have 27 and I want to take a gintonic.Sugary drink or not?Glycemia before taking it optimates?How often do I control glucose?How long does it take to metabolize ???Please!Some enlightened hahaha

@"Marcos_J_M" If it is going to be that you want 1 only gin tonic, do not eat your head so much for glucose and enjoy it as if there were no morning: (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Another thing would be that you are pleased to take 5 but if it is 1, do not give him many turns because in the end he will sit badly !!!

I will do that ... but I am a virgin.It will be my first time hahaha understands that he is crowded haha

The post was written by the viveudiatetes blog and has several carafales failures.
If we want to avoid the hypoglycemia crises we must avoid sugar and alcohol.Alcohol like all alcohol sugars have a glycemic index close to zero but its effects are harmful;Thus, if we want to drink some alcohol always accompanied by food.

Hello good!I went to madness yesterday!I know I did badly, but one day is a day!Business dinner and always lies something.
I had to drink 3 glass of wine, a mencia before dinner and two drinks from Rioja having dinner, with the white I did not dare .... The dessert arrived and I ate it, it was a chocolate cake portion.During the dinner there were prawns, scallops and roasted meat, of hydrates I had to eat approx 60 gr me bread plus the cake, click me as if it were a normal day telling rations and then during the dance I took two gintonic!I think I looked at the glucose as 6 times in the whole night, 270 was the highest thing I was and I have to say that I did not dare to correct, today I woke up at 1 with 180. I corrected now in the food and to see how suchGo the day after lack of control!

Well, they take away the dance @"Rociola !!! Another thing would be that you were always from Mambo, but in celebrations you have to let go of the hair a little.

I will tell you how my gynebrita has gone hahaha by the way.I have granted the insulin bomb !!!Medtronic 640 and the meter that connects with her and I am that I get out of the skin ... my mother I am stove.On January 30 my life begins haha

For twice a year that I leave, if you take a gin tonic, or two, I am going to take them, as it is usually accompanied by previous dinner and the tonic usually takes sugar because there is nothing in the sites without it or if I takeThe light drink will have already passed by eating surely ... but come on, I am organizing wedding and that day since I pay BARE, I think to take some copies and take my own tonic, I will already take care of looking for a free, I plan to take dessert (although althoughMy mother was eating my head with the issue that they put us fruit) and so on, we are not going to cut myself and take it off.

@Nila since you pay you can demand that you have the tonic you want, as long as it is not unusual.Come on is what I think.

Surely, anyway, before asking them to look for options so that they do not put what they want, some are usually bad.

How about, and what is with vodka.The truth until now that is the drink that goes best to me, and worse has been beer.

Good, a well explained with great detail, Oswascorrecto while the liver break down to alcohol in water and carbon dioxide is forgotten to do its main functions.A reactive strip and what they have said sweet wine always comes out.Beer increases sugar due to maltose.And with 15 years I took my first, ethyl I bought for my vodka birthday with lemon to make a bottle and when I arrived there was no lemon and for paying attention to two idiots I woke up in the ICU.Ean body we are different not everyone not all metabolized the alcohol the same.Important babies eat.If not bad.All the best

I am 21 years old, and debut 10 months ago I do not know if it will help you what I am going to tell.
As I mentioned I am 21 years old and I am in the middle of the university life, before my debut I went out of partying, I alsoto be in the parrot of many things.At first when I went to party on a Friday, on Saturday my HC relationship and insulin was very low, 1u I lowered me a lot, but well I think it was because I was on a honeymoon ... today going out for partyComplicated by the Covid but to tell the truth, the meetings between colleagues have not lacked in a house, where I have put myself to the ass.Mention that I have a 6'4 glyc, because I do a lot of sport and have a pretty good control, that does not mean that I am a party party.My recommendation for that kid who is reading me, is that first each one is known, it is different, for example, as long as I drink I do it with normal cola/ coca, after my first two glasses is when I put insulin, I put1u for each cup that I have drink, if I carry 4, because to tell the truth I will continue to drink and you are mixing alcohol with soft drinks that have a lot of HC, with this I endure the night, another thing I do is in the freestyleI configure the alarms in which I sound to me when I have the sugar below 100, (I have it in 65), so I know when my alcohol is going down with time.I always carry a fanny woman where I carry sugar, and when I get out of 100 is when I start eating, when you get home glass of milk and sleep.
With this I do not want to encourage anyone, I do this because I have learned to party, at first I ate some incredible descents where I did not want to drink again in life ... also to highlight that I do not go out as before the weekend if andalso weekend, but a monthly drunkenness if it usually falls ..

Hello Lolawwys, you have explained it very well you are on a honeymoon.We of sizes very well the night you go out.3 days before you have been trying and trying to control your glucose.Weekend, you have a great time, how are you going the next 3 days controlled following the meal schedule etc.Your friends know what they have to do in an emergency situation.You can go out there to have a good time and control a little.When I was young, I was trying to compare a non -sick.Today I asked me I have a chronic disease and what? Many parties have ended with me in the hospital and when I woke up I was none of my colleagues were my parents and my brother.I hope you do not take this comment to bad simply try to do what they never told me.Help a greeting

Thank you for your words, the truth that I have not taken it badly, all constructive criticism is well received.The truth is that the philosophy of life I am carrying is to continue doing what I like and that diabetes does not prevent me (always with a head), when I did not have the freestyle and used the glucometer I was much more careful, I drank 2-3Cups or even a couple of beers, and always at 2 hours some colleague came with me to look at me the sugar outside and such.Alomejor Someone who reads this seems to him a fuck 3 glasses but to tell the truth today the kids we drink until we can do more, bottle for two people is the minimum that a disco night is usually drink.I know that I have good friends but that deepland.When I said before that I do not want diabetes to prevent me at all, I mean, for example, to perform boxing, calisthenics or go 1 week of drunken beach with my colleagues or throw a weekend in the snow, but always that with head and headknowing what there is.
