How (not) to drink when you're diabetic.
As you might guess, there's a lot of folksy "wisdom" out there on how to do booze and diabetes in the same lifetime.
"Ideally, you should drink with meal or snacks. Some snacks that are good include popcorn, vegetable/fruit salad, and fat free yogurt."
http://healthyone.org/alcohol-and-type-2-diabetes/
"It is not easy to recommend one type of alcohol instead of another, but American Diabetes Association
informs that beer and dry wine have lesser carbohydrate content, fewer calories, and lesser alcohol content and may be better for diabetics."

That's what I was thinking too.
But since alcohol inhibits glycogen release by the liver, the argument is somehow that the extra carb intake doesn't matter? As long as it is just beer instead of sugar mixed with liquor? But then lower alcohol content along with lower carb content = WTF?!1 -

Ya know, if someone were to set about dispensing the worst advice on how diabetics should swig their alcohol, I have to wonder how dissimilar it would actually be from the dog's breakfasts the ADA mantra-mumblers routinely puke up for public consumption ....0 -
