good information :) I sort of knew most of this already, but it's good to hear it from another source. my tactic is to just drink until I'm a bit "buzzed" then pretty much stop, and not get completely intoxicated, that way can remember to check my BG every so often. I also set alarms on my phone to remind me to do so.
in a unrelated matter, on the first page of the article, it says "your" where it really should say "you're".
Great job, Ginger! You and Dr. Cogen put together some very valuable information for teens who consider drinking casually. I definitely learned some new things and will keep them in mind for the future. I have always told people I don't/won't drink because of my diabetes, but now I actually have some concrete facts to back that up. Thanks!
