Hi docs! wondering what alcohol would not spike glucose level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Hi. Many drink mixers are high in sugar - big spike. Beer & wine have some carb. Whiskey & soda water very low key on sugar effects. Don't drink unhealthy amounts of alcohol. Binge drinking may increase risk of hypoglycemia. Cheers!
