What happens when a diabetic consumes alcohol?
Alcohol may inhibit the effectiveness of oral diabetic medications and insulin. Alcohol may raise levels of triglycerides. Alcohol might potentially raise blood pressure. Alcohol might result in flushing, nausea, a rapid heartbeat, and slurred speech.
Are alcoholic beverages healthy for diabetics?
The finest alcohols for diabetics are those with a low sugar or carbohydrate content. This includes light beers, red and white wines, distilled spirits, and low carb cocktails, so long as sugary juices and syrups are avoided.
Helpful three-part strategy for a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet that treats and avoids Prediabetes/Diabetes II (also cures/prevents high blood pressure and high cholesterol). Very comprehensive description of insulin resistance and its treatment.
I’m pleased the book gave solid facts and information on why a low-carb, high-fat diet is not sustainable.
Diet works if you adhere to it, as simple as that. It is simple to sustain this diet long-term.
Does drinking impact blood sugar?
Each time alcohol is ingested, it impacts blood sugar levels, so even infrequent drinkers might be badly affected. Alcohol intake increases insulin secretion, which lowers blood sugar levels (otherwise known as hypoglycaemia).
This is the finest diabetic book that I have ever read. The excellent ones all recommend a high-carbohydrate, low-fat, plant-based diet, but this one explains why we should follow this diet. I have been a whole-food, plant-based eater for around five years, but I ate too many nuts, nut butters, and seeds despite the fact that they are entire foods.
As soon as I read the explanation in this book, I saw why too much fat was harmful. My insulin consumption went from 30 units per day to 12 units per day, and it seems to be moving even lower, and my blood sugar management has improved to the point that it is almost predictable, while on a high-fat diet, my blood sugar was like a random walk.
I adore this book! BTW, except when I’m fasting, I’m never hungry. Intermittent fasting is not required, but it does help you lose weight and activate your cellular defenses. Eating according to the advice in this book will help mend your metabolic disease, and you will lose weight. Good luck!!!!
