I am the type of person who cant remember last time I was drunk, but I love to have one glass of redwine sometimes, and also; I hate to get the cold or the flue and if I get it, I like to have one good cocnac or whiskey before I go to bed.
I was told that alcohol will make the liver work to get rid of it, and the liver will not dump glucoses in the blood when it is occupied with getting rid of the alcohol. The liver can actually work with the alcohol 24 hours after we stop drinking.
This lead to we can get hypo, and when we are hypo, it looks like we have got to much to drink, and nobody think about we maybe are sick / low in BG.
I learned:
-as an diabetic: never drink if you dont have someone you trust and who know you are diabetic with you
-Use a pin or something that show you are diabetic and what medication you use, in a place easy seen.
-Here in Norway the police says it is really a good idea to put a note with healt issues together with the coins, since the police always count your coins if they pick you up thinking you are too drunk, The note will make them call a doctor to check BG and how you are.
