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.
Question: I Take Insulin, Can I Drink Alcohol? Answer: No. People with diabetes who take medication to control their blood sugar -- insulin shots or oral diabetes pills -- run the risk of low blood sugar levels if they drink alcohol. When blood sugar levels drop, the liver normally begins to produce glucose from stored carbohydrates to compensate.
