No alcoholic beverage is the best choice for a diabetic. All alcohol has the same affect of diabetics; it raises blood sugar. Not certain exactly why, but it has something to do with the function of the liver. The liver has an important roll in regulating blood glucose levels, and the extra work it does metabolizing alcohol interferes with this process.

This is due to alcohol being made from Sugar and its packed full of it. A diabetic will end up having their blood sugar raised with the consumption of alcohol, how much it raises is individual per person.

Try to avoid dessert wines altogether. Always look at the alcohol percentage on the bottle. Typically, if it's 11% abv. there may some residual sugar. If the wine 13% or more, you can be confident that all of the sugar has been fermented out.

None! Alcohol temporarily turns into sugar as your body processes it and sugar is bad for diabetics.
