| Hi I like to drink too (",), and see no reason why diabetes should be a bar to enjoying a night out.
stuff to watch out for...
alcohol can impair your liver's ability to release glucose - it's too busy trying to mop up the alcohol, so night time hypos can be a very risky proposition (a significant proportion of deaths due to hypos have alcohol mixed into the equation). You can also be much more at risk of hypos way into the next day.
If it's your first few forays into drinking then you are better off being cautious - it's way way better to correct a high in the morning when you wake up, than try and correct a hypo when you are asleep and still drunk.
fortunately a typical night out - usually involves drinking followed by the munchies and a stop at the kebab shop (in the UK at least), which fits in pretty well with keeping yourself safe.
I personally bolus for the carbs in alcohol the same as I do for a meal, with a bit of a safety margin - but it has taken quite a bit of testing and practice to get to this.  |
