I have been diabetic since I was 5, I am 24 now.
I had lead a very unhealthly life style, I eat alot of fast and unhealthy foods, but my portions are quite limted (I only eat when hungry really). Sometimes I go through a whole day by snacking countless times during the day, eating only 1 decent meal. I am not over-weight, but I have found myself to have a very fast motablosim. But I still eat very very unhealthy.
Regardless:
My question is... does alchohol really affect diabetics?
I've found the best thing for us diabetic to drink is vodka, and belive me, I am turning into a conisour on the stuff. But is drinking period, safe for a diabetic?
I drink alot, and I mean alot... so I am just wondering, what damage may I be doing to myself, other than my liver?
Side Questions:
Cane Sugar; I assume I already know the answear to this, but is cane sugar differnt than "NORMAL" sugar, found in products?
Sucerlous: How differnt is it really? I drink this vitamin water that has sucerlous listed as the 2nd ingedeant, but I am unsure it's acctual sugar content. For better or worse?
Rum: Now like I said, I drink vodka, but rum is made from sugar cane, yet some may say it has no sugar in it at all? Comments?? I also wonder about gin, any idea what the sugar content of that is??
Wierd question, I know. But I need some answeres that have not officaly been defined or easy to find in documents.
