You know — I think all of us read on our Metformin prescription bottle ‘DO NOT USE ALCOHOL WHILE ON THIS MEDICATION’.
And yet I know several of us use wine to help AM blood sugar levels if we have Dawn Phenomenon. Or we simply enjoy it in moderation.
What is the real deal with alcohol and Metformin?
Do some of you follow the label strictly? – and therefore you’ve decided NOT A DROP FOR ME!
Has anybody ever had any trouble having some alcohol in moderation while on Met?
What is taking alcohol with Met/Glucophage supposed to increase the risk for such that they’d post such a warning on the label?
Thanks!
