I try to go to bed a little high because it takes so long for the dropping of my BG to stop that I usually wake up in the middle of the night with a terrible low.<BR/><BR/>Happy Early B-Day!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508213573891885604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572621.post-67789879108392167402007-12-07T17:14:00.000-05:002007-12-07T17:14:00.000-05:00A bottle of beer will raise my blood sugar... I do...A bottle of beer will raise my blood sugar... I don't like Bud or bud light or any light beer really, so I think each bottle would be around 15 grams of carbs.. I would bolus for a beer.<BR/><BR/>Wine coolers like the barles and jaymes strawberry daiquiri have close to 40g of carbs!! That I will bolus for. BUT, I think the trick is to not over bolus and to always be sure to eat when you drink, because while your liver is processing the alcohol, it won't be concentrating on glucagon and blood sugar levels, so in the long run, there will be a drop in blood sugar.<BR/><BR/>I don't bolus for drinks like rum and diet coke... as long as it's diet coke. Anything with any regular sugar soda, I bolus for, but only a little, because there usually isn't too much.<BR/><BR/>I would agree with claire, to err on the side of running a little high, but if you know that your drink has a good amt of sugar, the High blood sugar is gonna suck, so take a little insulin--just don't expect to be 90-110... aim for 150-175<BR/><BR/>This is, in no way, expert advice :)melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949561382847045332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572621.post-26047907879189768972007-12-07T12:46:00.000-05:002007-12-07T12:46:00.000-05:00Alcohol drops blood sugar.

So I don't bolus for a fruity girly drink, and when drinking with dinner, I always take less.<BR/><BR/>Err on the high side, when in doubt...Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034518947866238719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572621.post-13122224018762499782007-12-07T00:03:00.000-05:002007-12-07T00:03:00.000-05:00Well, Happy early birthday.

I may not be the best in giving my opinion on drinking, considering I have not touched a drink in about 12 years (I'm 34) but from what I know about diabetes and drinking is that alcohol usually drops your blood sugar. So bolusing for the sake of alcohol would not be a good idea. It also depends on what you are drinking. the fruity and sweet drinks are not this way but the good old beer will drop that blood sugar. So have fun but be careful.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00812715823411983151noreply@blogger.com
