I'm with you, Lizzie G. I'm enjoying a chardonnay as I type. Okay, drink in moderation, but don't think of yourself as an invalid who can't do stuff because you're 'diabetic' - hate that adjective. I've been a drinker all my adult life, including the past 27 years of type 1 D. I think I look really good on it! Call it self-medication. I have a stressful job and I enjoy wine in the evenings. Just be aware of how your own body responds to it, and don't drink too much.
