Diabetic beer olympics: advice on alcohol use?

[LarissaW]

@Michel

Scandinavian countries have the best statistics in existence on diabetes death rates, because of the way they administer their type of socialized medicine. My understanding (it was a while since I read these numbers) is that alcohol deaths and depression are the top sources of death for young diabetic adults. The numbers were frightening.

Super scary. Do you mind sending the link if you can find this study?

I like this reference chart from UCSF—it shows the differences between sources of alcohol:

I checked out this site, and for those interested it’s really great. The reference chart that Michel referred to is under the " How much is considered one drink?" category.
