Can diabetics drink rum

Answer 1

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.
