Whoa! Regarding non-alcoholic beer; after being diagnosed as Type 1
in January 2005, I went from 4-6 12oz cans of Natural Ice (higher in
alcoholic content than most domestics in the U.S.) every day for a
good 20 years to either the same (or frequently more) cans of either
O'Douls or Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic beer every day.

Both of them (the non-alcoholics) say they have around 12 or 13 grams
of carbs but have virtually ZERO impact on my blood sugar. Seriously,
every time I would factor them in to my insulin dose, I would go hypo
and end up at 40 or 50 or so, and end up eating sugar or glucose
tablets in a panic, and generally freak out anyone in the immediate
vicinity.

btw, I should mention that I'm about 5' 9" tall and weigh in between
140 and 150 pounds.

Has anyone out there had similar experiences?

(To this day, I'm still amazed that I made the transition to
non-alcoholic beer with no withdrawal symptoms, other than some
insomnia initially!)
