A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use infrequently: Yes, Alcohol does affect blood sugar. Certain wines and beers can contain large amounts of sugar and cause a blood sugar spike. It is like any other food/drink. Occasional small amounts are allowed, but not recommended for frequent use. The goal of diabetes care is to prevent blood sugar spikes. Proper diet, meds/insulin and exercise can all contribute to keeping blood sugar from spiking.
