If you have diabetes, drinking alcohol may cause your blood sugar to either rise or fall. Plus, alcohol has a lot of calories. If you drink, do it occasionally and only when your diabetes and blood sugar level are well-controlled.
If you have prediabetes and are on a lifestyle modification program to lose weight, drinking alcohol may impede your goals by providing extra calories with no nutrients. Currently there is no research on the impact of drinking sugary alcoholic beverages and the risk of prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes.edioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images.
