I have diabetes. i only found out a year ago. for years my toes get a burning sensation when i drink alcohol. what is happening?should i never drink?

Do not drink: Alcohol is a poison and it never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. I trust that you are keeping your blood sugar under control through diet, exercise and medication, if needed. Wish you good health! For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
