Patient's question:
My father is 45 years old and drinks beer every day. He has two glasses a day, even when he's in a good mood in the morning. However, apart from diabetes, he tends to overeat without restraint when he drinks beer. I consulted a doctor and asked how diabetics can quit drinking alcohol?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetic patients cannot drink beer. Therefore, to alleviate the worries for the patient's safety and health, it is necessary to abstain from alcohol. It is recommended to first completely remove all alcoholic beverages from the home and timely decline the practice of being forced to drink at banquets with relatives and friends. Psychological counseling should be provided to the patient to help them realize that drinking alcohol is ultimately harmful in every way. After all, abstaining from alcohol requires the patient's own effort.
