If you cannot find a carb listing on the label, then call the company that makes it and find out what its carb content is. By law, all U.S. made food products are supposed to list carb contents as well as other nutritional info.
4. The carb content of several major alcoholic beverages is available on several websites. Check this one out for info:

You need to be sure you are using the right Insulin Carb ratio for your doses before meals and that you have an accurate carb count. Calorieking.com is a good resource for carb listings in addition to what's on packages (and be sure to correctly measure servings). In order to gain weight you want to increase your protein and fats so that you can gain weight without increasing carbs.

I was told by my diabetec counselor that for every beer I drink I should eat as well with it as the alcohol lowers your sugar regardless of the carbs in beer , so say coors light beer has 15 carbs in it and instead of taking insulin to drink it you do the opposite, you should eat something worth around the same carb count as the beer your drinking therefore off setting each other hope this helps
The sugar level remains around 125 fasting and random. I also do take 90 ml of Whiskey/Vodka around 4 times a week. My question is that is it ok if I continue to take this much of liquor or shall I reduce it.
Is drinking vodka like about small peg bottle make me gain weight.. I drink may be once or twice a week..
Then you need to know your carb/insulin ratio. count the carbs and take the proper amount of insulin. and test your BG after 2 hours and 4 hours to see if your BG is in range. if its too high you need to check on your carb/insulin ratio to see if it needs adjusting.
there is another approach which uses both short and long acting insulins and calculates dosages based on how much carb and protein you eat.
Critical is to count carbohydrates and to determine exactly how much insulin you need to cover how much carbohydrfates. Don't give up. YOu are young and you can manage this with the right information and tools (insulin, diet, exercise).
in I was drinking at least 2 of those boxes of wine a week. Present day I am drinking about 2 bottles of vodka a week for about 2 years now. I do not drink during the day. For awhile now I have had really bad night sweats and now I am sweating all day long and I can't tolerate heat. Would not drinking during the day cause this? Maybe menopause? I have had the basic blood work done recently and for my liver, all came back normal. Is my body trying to get rid of toxins?
Plus, remember that you are adding a 1/2 c. or more of milk to that cereal and you need to add in the carb count for the milk. If you add fruit, once again you need to figure out the carbs and remember that a portion would be 1/2 of a banana or 1/4 c. of berries. The way most people eat their cereal, they are easily consuming over 100 gms. of carbs in one bowl!!!! The most you should have per meal is 45-60 gms. The low end is for women and the high end number is for men.
he drinks 3-4 gallons of vodka a month..... and has for years. Im actually breaking up with him this weekend after a 6 yr relationship. just cant handle his behavior and my kids come 1st. he does not get along with my 11 yr old son. what does this much drinking do to someone just wondering....
poison control told me this, called them after drinking vodka... If you want to try drinking vodka or tequila again, staying very hydrated usually helps the poising from taking hold, but you must hydrate BEFORE drinking!!! I usually drink a bottle of coconut water(very hydrating) and smart water-both packed with electrolytes! Trying hydrate after becoming sick is a lost cause. this has worked for me before, but if I can I just stick to what agrees with me, Rum & Cidre...
Low carb. Cut out soda, candy & other sweets. Bump up your veggies & fruits, lean cuts of meat. Exercise.
I am 17 weeks and have gestational diabetes. Luckily, I'm only having to monitor my blood sugar 4 times a day...so far so good. Hopefully it stays this way so I won't have to go on medication or insulin. Unfortunately, I am what they consider overweight and am predisposed. I have to say this has kept me in check and I have no gained any weight which was expected since I'm on low carb. This has been a blessing on disguise.
Definitely no sugar but it helps to walk for at least 15 min after each meal. Watch out with fruits Iuusually count them as my carb when I would snack. I had GD last pregnancy and it was a challenge but I stuck to my diabetic diet and was able to control it. The great thing about it is I only gained 26 lbs total, unlike this time around I'm 30 weeks and have already gained 27!
