The answer is yes, but in moderation. When alcohol is consumed, the liver works hard to remove the excess alcohol from your blood. Because the liver is working on managing the excess alcohol in your blood, the liver's ability to release or produce glucose decreases, causing hypoglycemia. Taking Insulin, and other diabetic medications that stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin may further increase the risk for hypoglycemia if alcohol is consumed. Make sure to consult with you physician before drinking any type of alcohol, especially if you are on medications.

1 1/2 oz of gin is considered one alcoholic drink. And each alcoholic drink counts as 2 servings of a fat exchange.
