<s>[INST] Can people with T1D drink alcohol? [/INST] Yes. But having type 1 diabetes means that in addition to consuming responsibly, you will also need to understand the effect of alcohol on blood sugar and keep an eye on it while drinking.

Moderate amounts of alcohol may cause blood sugar to rise, but excess alcohol can actually decrease your blood sugar level, which can be dangerous for people with T1D. People with T1D should only drink while eating food.  Source: JDRF. Link: https://www.jdrf.org/t1d-resources/about/faq/. Field: Endocrine. Disease: Diabetes </s>
