In most cases, the alcohol stops the liver from being able to perform gluconeogenesis, which is what releases stored glucose or converts amino acids to glucose. When I used go on a planned drinking night, I'd have to carb up before hand. Hopefully it won't happen the next time you have a drink. :)Rich the Diabetichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473391202997715956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-88611345188245683972013-01-08T13:22:47.686-05:002013-01-08T13:22:47.686-05:00Well, if I work out during the afternoon and then ...Well, if I work out during the afternoon and then have alcohol with dinner I have seen those sweeping lows - I'm careful not to drink if I've exercised. That wasn't the case this time. A sweet juice-based cocktail with dinner doesn't leave me with those long-term lows.

Beer doesn't have that effect on me though. Just hard stuff. I only have a few drinks a year now though.

I have been diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy (AN), and GA is in the list of symptoms/side effects of AN. With GA the digestion is much slower, so my BG rises much more slowly. I can have low BG after a big meal, and high BG later during the day when I should not have been high.
