I have a friend that drinks alcohol (not the hard stuff) but he has diabetes. I don’t know what to do because I’m really close to this friend. He always reacts the worst to me out of everyone only when he drinks. I just need some help on how to deal with him and what happens to him with it? Plus how can I get him to stop drinking. Oh I should add that he drinks a 12 pack of Natural Light.

      The total carbs in 12 Natural Light’s is equivalent to 4 total carbs which would equal one whole meal and can raise his blood sugars significantly. But drinking any alcohol can also lower blood sugars in some people and he should check his blood sugars every couple of hour and if they are low eat one carb to compensate. Also any hard drink mixed with diet pop is zero carbs unless it’s sweet like yager or liquers.
