People with diabetes should be cautious about drinking alcohol. Too much alcohol can make blood sugar levels fall too low. Drinking even a small amount of alcohol on an empty stomach can lead to a very low blood sugar. If you take insulin or diabetes pills, your blood glucose may go too low when you drink because alcohol interferes with the effects of the medicine. In addition, some medicines, including those for diabetes, can interact with alcohol. This can be serious and potentially life-threatening.
