According to the Mayo Clinic, excessive alcohol consumption can increase a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes. When women consume more than one drink per day, or when men consume more than two drinks per day, the pancreas may become inflamed. When inflammation develops, the pancreas may not be able to secrete insulin. This eventually leads to diabetes.
Diabetics need to be aware that alcohol can cause hypoglycaemia (very low blood sugar levels), especially when combined with diabetes medications that are designed to lower blood sugar levels. It is usually a good idea for diabetics to drink alcohol with food in order to moderate blood sugar levels. Good alcoholic drinks for diabetics include low-carb beers, red wine (some studies have linked red wine to improved glucose control), and spirits with sugar-free mixers. As a general rule, low-alcohol beers also tend to be low in carbs although there are some exceptions to this rule.
