Hen do

[CazzyLancs]

Hi. I've been diagnosed with pre diabetis blood count 44. I've gone low carb and doing really well but I'm going on a 3 day hen do in a month. There will be drinking involved and I don't want to feel miserable by not being able to join in. I know i can drink clear spirits but what would happen if I just lapsed a little bit for the 3 days and had a few Corona beers? Would I reverse everything that I've done? Any advise appreciated. Thanks 😊

I’m not entirely sure on how it works for a pre T2 diabetic as I’m T1, but for me any alcohol causes a spike in my BG levels and then a pretty rapid drop so if I do ever drink I need to make sure I eat normally and not low carb as that would put me at risk of dropping too low. Hopefully someone else will come along and confirm whether it’s the same or different in your case

You’d be fine, you’re not on medication so not at risk of hypos

No I've just to watch my carbs at the minute. That's good to know. Thank you

There aren't any carbs in wine either, if that helps!

That helps A LOT! 🤣
