A member asked:

Will drinking vodka negatively affect type 2 diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vodka: Or any alcohol can raise blood sugar because it contains calories - 7 cal/gram. If you drink and then don't eat for several hours, you can develop low blood sugar -- so always drink in moderation if you have to drink, and do it only with food.
