Moreover, alcohol reduces cell sensitivity to insulin, making it difficult for blood sugar to return to normal levels after a spike.
The "Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes" recommend that individuals with diabetes should not consume alcohol. If individuals with stable blood sugar and no severe complications of diabetes, as well as healthy individuals, want to drink alcohol, they should control their alcohol intake. Women are advised not to exceed 15 grams of alcohol per day, and men should not exceed 25 grams (approximately equivalent to 350 ml of beer or 150 ml of wine). Drinking alcohol should be limited to no more than twice a week.
