Alcohol <strong>and</strong> diabetes<br />

Drinking alcohol is DANGEROUS for diabetics, especially if taking medication.<br />

It's important to cut down or say NO to alcohol.<br />

Alcohol is high in sugar, which can cause blood glucose levels to rise.<br />

Alcohol can also cause weight gain.<br />

4 litre wine cooler contains<br />

55 to 65 teaspoons of sugar<br />

1 can (375ml) premixed alcohol <strong>and</strong> softdrink contains<br />

7 1/2 teaspoons of sugar<br />

Talk to the local ATODS (Alcohol, Tobacco <strong>and</strong> Other Drugs<br />
