an exorbitant amount of jager sent me into a low about an hour after coming home from the bar and it seemed like a mini coma (according to eyewitnesses).... turns out im not invincible. stupid newly diagnosed diabetic testing my limits.... lesson learned. ;)

is it possible that a fast acting insulin like novolog aids in the assimilation of alcohol into the body faster than normal by flipping your body's metabolism switch?

I am 59 . I have been type 1 for 30 years, and have been on the pump for 5 years, CGM for 2 years. I drink everyday. usually 3 scotch manhattans( scotch, sweet vermouth, cherries and cherry juice) in the evening. little or no impact on my BG. Sometimes it will raise my BG 30 to 50 points. i also drink Miller Lite when playing golf or fishing.(4 to 6). Lite beer has no impact on my Bg. Wine and other whiskeys don't effect my Bg. Really sweet fruit drinks do raise my Bg significatly so I stay away from them. Bob
