Is Miller lite beer 2 bottles per day good/bad for a type 2 diabetic. And what would be its effect on human body.

Question

Mr. lybrate-user, In type 2 diabetes alcohol in any form is best to be avoided. Because alcohol gives empty calories, has no nutritional value, it can cloud hypoglycemic symptoms.
