Doctors told Vologda about the risks of drinking alcohol in diabetes

The Ministry of health of Russia from 9 to 15 November holds a week of fight against diabetes. Doctors of Vologda Regional Drug Dispensary No. 1 told about the dangers of alcohol in this disease.

On the level of glucose, different alcohol acts differently. For example, there are almost no carbohydrates in strong drinks, but they block the production of glucose by the liver. Sugar deferred falls - after 6-12 hours. One of the most common threats of abuse is nocturnal hypoglycemia. Beer drinks increase sugar moderately. But it is worth understanding, because of the volume of carbohydrate load accumulates imperceptibly. A person easily drinks 2-3 times more than permissible.

Doctors recommend completely abandoning alcohol. In extreme cases, do not consume on an empty stomach and check blood sugar levels.
