No sugar in wine !

Hi. You'll be pleased to know that wine us ok. The alcohol gives the liver something else to do rather than raise your glucose levels. All in moderation of course.😉

As long as it's not sweet wine of course. I love rose wine but the one they always seem to sell in pubs is Zinfandel which is very sugary. Give me a Pinot blush any day!

A drop of wine is fine. 🙂

Hello and welcome to the forum Mrs G. My sister has been eating tons of grapes! I told her to leave them out, they're sugar bombs. The only fruit I really miss is nectarines.

A bottle is better 😎

I ate a small jacket potato with 3 butter knobs and a whole bottle of red wine. Blood sugar reading 2 hours later 5.4 lol!!!
