31 Dec 2007
In people with type 2 diabetes, a daily glass of wine with dinner lowers fasting blood sugar levels, Israeli researchers found in a study they conducted. However Dr. Iris Shai of Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beer-Sheva warns “It is important to note that higher doses of alcohol are dangerous and each patient should talk with his physician before initiation.” The results were published in Diabetes Care.
