Diabetes and alcohol
If you wish to drink alcohol when you have diabetes, you will need to ask
your doctor these questions:
• Can I drink alcohol?
• How much should I drink?
• What can I drink?
Do not drink alcohol without talking to your doctor.
He or she knows your medical history, and how well your
diabetes is controlled. Your doctor will let you know if you
can have alcohol.
Once you know you can drink alcohol, it is important to learn about:
• The effect of alcohol on the control of your diabetes.
• How to avoid running the risk of having a low blood sugar.
You must be 19 years of age or older to legally
drink alcohol in Ontario.
