Honestly, the answer: depends on how much you are able to eliminate other carbohydrates from your diet. A 6 ounce glass of wine contains about 150 calories and 5 grams of carbohydrate. This is certainly manageable and will not adversely affect your efforts in diabetes prevention as long as you keep other carbs in check. Dry wines have lower sugar content: pinot noir, pinot blanc, sauvignon blanc. Salut!
