Yeah I didn't drink until I went to college and I asked my doctor how I should take care of myself while I drink, she said don't take insulin unless you drink fruity drinks because they are most often made with juice. If you mix with regular soda make sure you know how much you have and take Insulin accordingly! I am a crown royal and coke guy, but I've found that crown and diet coke is much better tasting and I don't have to worry about taking insulin! Just watch out for the dragon fruit vodkas and things like that, also beer usually has the amount of carbs on the bottle. Oh and the most important thing to do is make sure the people around you know you have diabetes! My friends always help me and remind my to check my blood. Luckily I have the pump so it's easier to enter my blood sugar and have it tell me how much I insulin I should take, especially when I am intoxicated.
