Best Answer

Diabetics should not drink alcohol. period.

But it's mostly related to what type of Diabetes you're talking about.

When alcohol is consumed, it is processed by the liver.

The liver is responsible for eliminating toxins in the blood.

People with diabetes don't always have a proper functioning liver, and therefore cannot process the toxins in the correct way.

Also, in some alcohol there are hidden sugars, and that doesn't help the diabetic's pancreas, whatsoever.

Hope this helped.

Can diabetics drink rum?

Diabetics should consult their physician before consuming alcohol of any kind, due to possible drug interactions with their medication. 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. 1 1/2 oz of gin is considered one alcoholic drink. And each alcoholic drink counts as 2 servings of a fat exchange.
