So this time it would also be nice to drink but I am too afraid to now and am not sure how or how many diabetics acctually do it.

????????????for the most part I think I just don't want to drink, it's bad for you anyway right, so....I don't know, my 21st birthday isn't going to be so exciting anymore....****! =/ sigh ah well, that's life right.

see my previous post. its absolutely fine. PM me if you like, seriously you should not be worried about drinking as long as you understand your body's personal response and dont put yourself in danger of a big hypo. generally i find: wine just brings my BG down, beer starts off by going up then comes down, spirits i dont touch....i would say though, if you're not experienced at managing your blood sugars dont go crazy
