Hello everyone! I need someone to answer some of my questions I have about alcohol and diabetics. I am not a diabetic, but my boyfriend is. He has been since he was 9, he is now 30. My question is:
What are the long term effects of him drinking? It's not like he has a beer occasionally. It's a 6-12 pack every other night. It has gotten worse over the last year and I'm starting to get worried. He has neuropathy and does not have leg hair on his calves and cannot feel all of his feet. He takes Lantus 2 times a day and then also Novolog about 4 times a day depending. His sugar will go from 40-700 in a day. He acts goofy sometimes and has a very short fuse lately. I am beginning to become concerned about his overall health. Can someone please help me? I love him very much and I worry about him, but I'm not sure if I am being overbearing? Please if anyone can answer my questions, it would be much appreciated. Thank you
