The use of alcohol in moderation has been associated with reduced mortality rates, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and reduced risk for type 2 diabetes. However, the effects of alcohol in persons with type 2 diabetes have not yet been defined. Moreover, the possibility of alcohol induced hypoglycemia remains a safety concern. Finally, little is known about the effects of alcohol on plasma lipids in people with diabetes. To address these issues, two substudies are proposed. The first substudy will examine the acute effects of alcohol in the form of wine at supper on postprandial and nocturnal glucose levels. The second substudy will examine the effects of alcohol in the form of wine consumed regularly for one month on plasma lipids.
