Beer and High Blood Sugar

Tweet

I have a friend whom I believe to be an alcoholic and his doctor recently told him that his blood sugar is high. He also has high blood pressure and he smokes. I am afraid for him and there is no reasoning with him. He does what he wants to do regardless. His girlfriend told me about it today and I did not want to say a whole lot to scare her, because I am not really sure of all the facts myself. I remember when an ex-boyfriend of mine found out that he was diabetic, he had almost died. I had been making him homemade milkshakes the night before and his blood sugar was sky high before he got to the hospital. I think it was like 832 or somewhere in that range. I remember the doctors telling him that if he wanted a beer, he had to miss a meal. Of course, he was not an alcoholic, but I had to stay on his case all the time about not eating sweet stuff. Does anyone know the results of high blood sugar and to much beer?
