Thanks for the advice. I don't think that I am limited because I'm a diabetic just that there are things I choose not to do because it's better for my body in general not to.
But I do want to 'learn' how to drink, how my body responds to such and such. I'm just a little scarred to do the experiment and find out. But I think I'm going to this summer. i'll have a calm night at home watching a movie with my family and drink a beer and see what happens, since that is mostly what I'd be drinking in spain. Though in spain it's just random beers so I won't know how many carbs....?
So do I just find out how many carbs are in it and then cover for it and eat something at the same time to avoid a low? And then check every hour or so for 4 hours or something?
Heh, sorry to be ignorant about this =/
THANKS!
