Perhaps, alcohol will slightly lower glucose levels, but beer has some sugar in it. It is hard to measure in a sense since beer with pretzels is harder on the glucose then beer and a steak.
Answer
I am a type 1 diabetic and it is a fact that studies have shown alcohol lowers blood sugar. It is best NOT to drink if you are a diabetic however, if you are going to partake, I suggest always eat something that has both a protein and carb together like a sandwich or cheese and crackers when you do.I have found this to be helpful.

∙ 14y agoConsumption of ethanol by diabetics can elevate, or lower, blood sugar levels, depending on whether the individual has recently eaten, or has been
fasting, and whether the individual chronically consumes alcohol, or not. Chronic consumption of alcohol by well-nourished diabetics is associated with hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar).
There are some suggestions that this may be the result of reduced insulin responsiveness. Acute (single exposure) consumption of moderate amounts of alcohol by a well-nourished
diabetic (either type 1 or 2), who does not chronically consume alcohol, generally, does not lead to significant changes in blood sugar levels. Alcohol consumption by people who are in the fasting state (i.e., they have not
recently eaten) produces hypoglycemia (reduced blood sugar levels). This effect occurs in both type 1 and type 2 diabetics, as well as in non-diabetics.

How much sugar is in a can of beer?
Most beer has no sugar at all. The sugars have been converted into alcohol. Taken from a popular advert but actually not true most beers contain quite a lot of sugar that's why if you spill beer it leaves behind the sugar when it dries leaving a very sticky mess. But it all depends on the beer and lagered beer contain even more sugar. If you take an average pint of beer is around 180 Calories and a level spoonful of sugar is 15 calories you will see and average pint is around 12 teaspoons of sugar. If you want to test your drink for sugar spill some and let it dry see what is left when the water and alcohol is gone. If you could turn all the sugar to alcohol beer would be around 30% proof and used to power the space shuttle.
