The connection between alcohol and diabetes
Experts believe that there is a strong link between alcohol and type-2 diabetes, which has a bad effect on your body and can increase blood sugar levels as well as lead to weight gain. Let us tell you today how much harm alcohol can cause to diabetic patients-
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is a condition when the blood sugar level in the body drops, especially when you drink alcohol on an empty stomach or immediately after taking diabetes medication, causing the blood sugar level to fall rapidly.
Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia is a condition in which blood sugar levels increase. When alcohol is consumed along with carbohydrate beverages such as cold drinks, energy drinks or juices, it can increase blood sugar levels and cause hyperglycemia.
increased insulin sensitivity
Insulin sensitivity can increase in people who consume alcohol, and this can have serious effects on diabetics.
gaining weight
It is very important for diabetic patients to control their weight, otherwise the condition of diabetes becomes even more serious. In such a situation, alcohol also contains a high amount of calories, which can contribute to weight gain. Especially when alcohol is consumed with an energy drink or carbohydrate drink and fried snacks are eaten with it.
