A type 1 diabetic friend had too much alcohol. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol: 1: Please get over the term "diabetic"! If he/she has type 2 diabetes they should see a dietitian and an exercise specialist in order to get rid of diabetes. Yes - that should be the goal. 2: Too much alcohol is no good for anybody and perhaps even less so for someone with diabetes.
