❤️ HOW TO DRINK ALCOHOL CORRECTLY WITH DIABETES AND WEIGHT LOSS? - a frequently asked question at the reception ????⚕️. Today we will talk about alcohol. How does alcohol affect our body? ????Once in the human body, alcohol causes psychomotor agitation - we begin to move faster, gesticulate, someone starts arguing, someone starts dancing. Accordingly, blood sugar decreases. However, not everything is so rosy. ????When drinking sweet alcohol, blood sugar first rises sharply, with the preserved production of insulin, we also get an insulin release, and then the sugar drops. Therefore, sweet alcohol is prohibited for diabetes, IR and weight loss. ???? Strong unsweetened alcohol lowers blood sugar. ????If we take strong hypoglycemic drugs or insulin, then after drinking ????strong alcohol we will experience hypoglycemia (a drop in blood sugar). ????The severity of hypoglycemia after drinking alcohol directly depends on the condition of our liver - if the liver is healthy and has a large supply of glycogen - compressed sugar - then, when blood sugar drops due to alcohol consumption, the liver will release glycogen, and hypoglycemia will be mild or will not occur at all. ????If our liver is not perfectly healthy, then when drinking alcohol, the liver will be busy breaking down alcohol and the liver will not be able to correct the falling blood sugar level, then there will be hypoglycemia. ????That is why, when drinking alcoholic beverages (especially strong unsweetened ones), diabetics need a carbohydrate snack and control over blood sugar. A frequently asked question: "So, is alcohol good for diabetes, since you're writing about it?" Alcohol is not good for diabetes, and I'm writing about how to minimize the harm from drinking alcohol with diabetes. ✅ If you CAN GIVE UP ALCOHOL with diabetes, and with IR and weight loss, then this will be a BIG PLUS for the body (primarily for the health of blood vessels and nerves). ????If you CANNOT GIVE UP, then CHOOSE UNSWEETENED TYPES OF ALCOHOL: dry wine/champagne or strong unsweetened alcohol (vodka, cognac, etc.). ????REMEMBER THE SENSE OF MODERATION: within TWO PORTIONS OF ALCOHOL per evening - that is, two glasses of dry wine or 2 portions of strong unsweetened alcohol. ????ADJUST ????THERAPY WITH A DOCTOR: on "libation" days, it is worth skipping metformin group drugs (it is dangerous to combine with alcohol) and some weight loss drugs. ????DISCUSS THE MENU AT THE HOLIDAY TABLE WITH A DOCTOR: if there is a risk of a drop in sugar (hypo), then take a glucometer with you and, if necessary, add slow carbohydrates. ????If there is no risk of a drop in sugar, and the main goal is weight loss, then choose low-carb snacks.
