Alcohol can affect blood sugar, sometimes causing low blood sugar hours after drinking, especially for people taking insulin or certain medications.
If you choose to drink, do so in moderation, never on an empty stomach, and check your blood sugar more often. Ask your doctor whether alcohol is safe for you.
