People who r on insulin like,Taking alcohol is not advisable.Which will directly ir indirectly effect the Liver Function. As u r already have both BP&DM,,Better u start taking more water,that too 3-4 glasses of a bit warm water in morning will help as cleanser. Take few soaked seeds of Fenu greek inmorning,methi leaves in food form

As long as your sugar is under control, you can afford one small drink. Always include 30 minutes of exercise in your schedule and eat out of need, not out of greed.
