### Human:\nred wine lowering blood sugar level. hi . i have type 2 diabetes last few years. i am using metformin 2+2 tablets. i noticed that red wine is very good for lowering blood sugar. yesterday after supper i had 2 glasses of red wine and before going to bed i had only 3. 8 sugar in my blood. i understand that doctors don't want to say that alcohol is good but red wine for me (glass or two) is very good. i didn't try and prove with other alcohols but i can suggest 2 glasses of red wine a day. regards. zoran markanovic. dartmouth ns. canada\n\n### Assistant: only one study has shown that red wine can potentially benefit people with type 2 diabetes so there seems to be no reason why you cannot have a glass or two per day assuming you are on your medication following an otherwise good diabetic diet and check your blood sugars regularly. cheers.
