 [ Symptoms ] red wine lowering blood sugar level hi  i have type 2 diabetes last few years i am using metformin 2+2 tablets i noticed that red wine is very good for lowering blood sugar yesterday after supper i had 2 glasses of red wine and before going to bed i had only 3 8 sugar in my blood i understand that doctors do not want to say that alcohol is good but red wine for me glass or two is very good i did not try and prove with other alcohols but i can suggest 2 glasses of red wine a day regards zoran markanovic dartmouth ns canada [ Disease ] only one study has shown that red wine can potentially benefit people with type 2 diabetes so there seems to be no reason why you cannot have a glass or two per day assuming you are on your medication following an otherwise good diabetic diet and check your blood sugars regularly cheers
