Diabetes and beer, here’s an expert-approved guide for diabetics to drinking alcohol
Hindustan TimesA pint of beer or a glass of wine may seem harmless, and hard to resist if you are with friends. “Beer raises blood sugar levels as it contains sugar in the form of maltose or maltodextrin,” says nutritionist Anjali Peswani. But because of its low alcohol content, people often end up drinking several glasses of beer and thus end up consuming almost 600 calories. “The higher the amount of carbohydrates in alcohol, the greater is the risk of developing high blood sugar,” says Dr Deepti Bagree, who is based out of Mumbai and is Head Of Department -Healthcare, RESET : Holistic Living. “Alcohol can also react negatively with diabetic medications like metformin and insulin; these medicines reduce sugar levels and intake of alcohol can drop it further,” says Dr Bagree.
