8:45 p.m.
Good day so far - fasting was 102 and I just tested post-supper and had 124 - kinda mixed on my feelings regarding that result since we went out for Mexican and I actually had 3 small margaritas. As I understand it, alcohol can have a negative impact on blood sugar, and in some people that could be a bad thing. But since I have never had any issues with hypoglycemic episodes overnight, I want to assume I am okay. I will test again before bed and see where I am then.
As for Alcohol and Diabetes, here is what the ADA says:

And, here is what the WebMD says:

And, here is what they say on dLife:

I had 3, which were probably about 5 oz. each, one over the limit set by these standards. But I feel that at this time I have such a tight rein on my numbers that I can afford to go one over every now and again. Outside of an occasion such as tonight was I generally only consume one 12oz margarita a month. So i'm okay with a splurge every now and then :D
