Alcohol and the Diabetic Diet Plan

If you read the about me section of my website you will see that I do not recommend the use of alcohol by diabetics. But that is my personal choice. But if you are going to drink, you should keep the amount of alcohol in your diabetic diet to a minimum. This is because alcohol is processed in the same manner fat is in your diabetic diet. Some people I know who are diabetics say their doctor says it is fine for them to drink, but I have never had a doctor yet who has said alcohol or cigarette use is fine in a diabetic diet plan. All doctors I have met discourage alcohol or cigarette use in diabetic diets even if they use either their self.
