Is it safe for a diabetic to drink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diabetic: At age 40 there is no such thing - you are a diabetic unless you have had diabetes since late teens or early age (about 20 years or so). If you are 40 year old with recent diagnosis of diabetes you must meet with a dietitian to get rid of diabetes. Yes it can and should happen! Safe drinking is OK if you don't overdo sugar or alcohol!

A member asked:
What amount of alcohol consumption (if any) is safe for a patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy? Most of the literature I've found has to do with alcohol abuse; is moderate, occasional drinking safe in any capacity for a symptomatic individual?
