A member asked:
Can my glucose levels be affected from having a few drinks the night before a test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Alcohol has a lot of calories in it. Your testing of blood sugar the next morning after a night of drinking would reflect the same kind of calorie intake that eating all night might. If you are testing for a1c, however, that test would not be affected. Liver function testing could show liver stress from the alcohol.
