A member asked:
Been drinking 1-2 glasses of red win per day because of suggestive health benefits. but can this habit put me at risk of developing diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protects against DM!: There is evidence that moderate wine consumption can lower risk of diabetes. I think it is more wise to average 1 glass a day than 2 but 2 a few times/wk is OK. It may also be wise to not drink a couple days a week.
