Return To Diabetes FAQ Archive   Why is alcohol dangerous for a diabetic? Answered By Editor A diabetic can consume alcohol, but only in moderation. Blood sugar levels should be under control before safely drinking alcohol. Even then, it is suggested that a diabetic have a maximum of two drinks. Alcohol reduces the ability of the liver to produce glucose, and, hence, takes a long time for the alcohol to clear out of the system. Since glucose production is slowed, low sugar levels or hypoglycemia become a big risk for diabetics. keywords: Diabetes | Diabetics | Alcohol | Blood Sugar | Liver | Glucose | Hypoglycemia Blood Glucose Monitoring Blood Glucose Monitoring Devices Blood Glucose Values Blood Sugar Glucose
