hello myself and family are concurned that my mam drinks to much when she has type 2 diabetes,with her drinking we have noticed that her sugar leavel is out of control on an evening, we have tryed to get her to get a good diabetic nurse to see her,but we do have alot of trouble getting one. we have tryed to get her to stop drinking alcohol but she keeps saying the doctors and  nurses say that you are allowed to drink alcohol when you have diabetes,but we know that the ammount she drinks its not true. is this the reason why her sugar leavel is out of control????

thank you for taking your time to read this.

I agree with WaveRider!  Your sugar is not controlled and you need to find out why?  Are you eating correctly, exercising, avoiding stress?  Never stop taking your insulin, this is very dangerous!  I know I'm repeating a lot of what WaveRider said, but you need to get serious with your meds, diet and exercise.  Good luck and best wishes.

Do yourself a BIG favor, Google search 'Ignoring Complications of Diabetes' and 'How to manage/control high blood sugar', then hopefully you can make lifestyle adjustments to lower your glucose levels. Go see a diabetes nutritionist to learn and understand what you can and cannot eat. Finally, please do not stop or adjust your medication without your doctors consent. Doing so puts you at risk for serious health complications.
