| What's the deal with Red Wine?
Hi All,
I love red wine, but since I started focusing on restricting carbs in my diet, I've avoided it except on special occasions.
In the past, I had to be EXTREMELY careful with red wine because it tends to lower my blood glucose, at least initially. I used to have severe lows a couple of hours after drinking a couple of glasses.
First of all....why did that happen? Any ideas. I've heard that it's a common reaction.
Second...what is alcohol and how does your body process it? In a non-diabetic, does it stimulate insulin production? Is Alcohol a carbohydrate?
Sorry for asking such a broad question. I know it's close to a "What is the meaning of life?" type of question.
I will appreciate any input. |
