Leave him, he was having a beer or two. 😉
We didn't drive anywhere. It was like a huge party in the "Hood" I live in. Fireworks, people dancing outside, Mariachi bands, and that was just the apartment next door. 😕

Originally posted by Very RustyI asked my doctor, he said many of his patients drink in moderation, and have no ill effects. I drank one beer about a month ago and I monitored my blood sugar, it went up slightly, then went down quite a bit. In some people alcohol seems to intensify the effects of the meds. Of course the alcohol turns to sugar, but I think it metabolizes more rapidly than sugar or carbs ( Carbs is a duh) So I eat after I have a beer, and watch BS.
I didn't think you were allowed to drink actually.
Not, that it is going to stop you.
I check my blood sugar, and I check it often. 🙂

Our "booze bus" people make borderline overlimiters take a second reading 30 minutes later, to allow for recent alcohol consumption which hasn't shown up yet.
