When you are diabetic easter definitely gets better the older you get. I got given beer this year instead of chocolate. Its been a good easter this year.

Surely, beer (which is made up of carbs + alcohol) gets converted to sugars in the blood, so can't be good? I don't know, I was told that alcohol in general is bad if one is a diabetic... could've been wrong though

When you drink alcohol your liver has to process it. While its doing that it isn't using the stored glycogen that the body has. This means that the sugar in your blood drops and can cause someone to go hypo.

Hmmm, interesting. Though once the liver has processed it, surely the result is still sugars that the body cannot absorb without insulin so ones sugar level rises?
