| I have a glass of red wine frequently without problems blood-sugar wise. I did this while on the metformin as well. Alcohol can have a lowering effect on blood sugar, so its important that you test until you know how it will affect you individually.
Also, food will slow the effects of the alcohol, so have your glass of wine with dinner and then check 1 and 2 hrs afterwards to see how it effects you. If you find you are going low or feeling shaky, eat something and you should be fine. And start out with only one glass until you know how it will affect you.
