Can diabetics drink beer?

Question

My brother has diabetes, and he's going to a party next week where there will be a lot of beer. He asked me to find out if it's safe for him to have some. Can diabetics drink beer, or is it strictly off-limits?

Beta, beer me bohot jyada nasha aur meetha hota hai jo shareer ko nuksaan pahunchata hai. Isse door rehna hi sabse badhiya hai, apna dhyan rakho.

I had just one beer last weekend and my sugar level crashed to 60 in the middle of the night. It was absolutely terrifying. Has anyone else faced these kinds of sudden drops after drinking beer?

Vikram Das · Answer

I was reading up on this because my friend has diabetes. It turns out beer has lots of carbs which can spike sugar initially, but the alcohol can cause a severe drop later. It seems quite tricky to manage safely.

My elders always advise staying completely away from alcohol. However, my doctor mentioned that if sugar is stable, an occasional light beer with food is okay, but we must never drink on an empty stomach. I prefer to follow her advice.

I ignored the warnings and drank beer regularly, which led to severe neuropathy and fluctuating sugar levels. Please do not risk your health. Consult your doctor before consuming any alcohol.

Asha Kulkarni · Answer

Haan na, beer pine se sugar control karna bohot mushkil ho jata hai. Heavy drinks are strictly not recommended for diabetics. Apne health ke sath risk nahi lena chahiye.

With both high BP and diabetes, I completely avoid beer because it can mess with my blood pressure medications and sugar levels. Regular clinical checkups and a clean lifestyle are much safer options.
