I have had Type-2 diabetes for two years. I am regular with my diabetes medicines. I like to take a drink (usually whisky) with my colleagues. Is alcohol allowed for diabetics? Can I drink around 3-4 pegs (90 to 120 ml) of whisky every day?

    Type 2 diabetes involves having excess blood glucose. This is because the body does not produce enough insulin or respond to the insulin produced, known as insulin resistance.

    You may face additional risks by drinking alcohol if you have Type 2 diabetes. People on insulin or anti-diabetic medicines may experience a temporary drop in low blood sugar levels. Alcohol may reduce your body’s ability to recover when your blood sugar levels fall.

    While alcohol can decrease your blood sugar levels, it should not be misunderstood as a benefit. WHO clearly states that there is no safe level of drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of cancers, obesity, heart diseases, mental illnesses, organ damage and more.

    Alcohol may also cause weight gain. Drinking alcohol is not at all advised. A psychiatrist may help you quit the habit of drinking alcohol. It is important to measure your sugar levels regularly and consult your diabetologist.
