    Does alcohol consumption affect HbA1c levels?

    Excessive alcohol consumption can affect blood sugar control and lead to elevated HbA1c levels. Alcohol can cause both high and low blood sugar levels, depending on the amount consumed and whether it’s taken with food. Drinking alcohol in moderation, as recommended by your healthcare provider, is generally safe for people with diabetes. However, it’s important to be aware of how alcohol affects your blood sugar and adjust your medications or insulin accordingly. Always monitor your blood sugar levels closely when consuming alcohol and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
