    Drugs and Alcohol – Diabetes Risks?

    Alcohol and diabetes are complicated. It’s not surprising that combining the two can produce complicated effects.

    In fact, depending on a person’s condition, consuming alcohol can raise or lower the blood glucose level. For people with well-managed diabetes, a smaller amount of alcohol can elevate their blood glucose levels.

    But, if people with diabetes drink larger amounts of alcohol, they could produce the opposite effect. They could experience hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose levels.
