FAQ: Alcohol & Type 1 Diabetes

Alcohol suppresses hepatic glucose output, disrupts REM sleep, increases overnight hypo risk, and affects metabolism differently across single-night and multi-day events. This episode walks through the mechanisms, the patterns, and the practical adjustments that help people stay safer.

What we cover:
• Alcohol’s effects on the liver and glucose release
• Why glucagon often fails
• Why memory disappears after drinking
• Night-one vs multi-night physiology
• Basal adjustments, Activity Mode, manual mode and MDI
• Festival strategies and hypo prevention
• How parents and clinicians can talk about alcohol without shame
