Is It Safe To Consume Alcohol Despite Suffering From Type 2 Diabetes?
Thank You - I am 63 and take medication for diabetis Type 2 Metformin, levoxyl, amatripilonine,. I consumed about 10 oz of wine last night and lost 60% of vision. Could not see tv. Went to bed and no problem. I also take motrin - prostate problem and have no thyroid (cancer removed) - Looks like i should not drink any alcohol. Any thoughts?
