Should You Drink With Diabetes?

    I am not a big drinker when it comes to alcohol.  I like to have a couple of drinks every now and again, but have never been one to drink to get drunk.  If I am driving and go to a bar, I drink soda, iced tea or coffee.  I go once in awhile with friends to listen to music.  You can hear some of the best live music in bars.  

     Alcohol is a loaded issue.  Moderate drinking has actually been shown to be protective against type 2 diabetes.  But if you have diabetes-type 1 or type 2-alcohol can either be good for you or dangerous, depending on a number of factors.  Navigating the drinking catch-22 takes a very educated patient.  Check your knowledge here with this quiz, and make sure you are making the best choices for you:
