A member asked:

Can drinking too much beer make you hypoglycemic or diabetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Vered Lewy-Weiss answered

Hypoglycemia: Alcohol-induced hypoglycemia can occur in anyone, particularly in those with diabetes. However, independent of alcohol-induced pancreatitis, i'm not aware of beer as a primary cause of diabetes.
