Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. The mentioned blood glucose level is too high (fasting or after food is not mentioned). This shows totally uncontrolled diabetes. It is a very serious matter as such a high glucose level will precipitate multiple long term complications associated with diabetes involving all vital organ systems much rapidly. So it is absolutely essential to control glucose levels quickly. Ideally fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. From such a high glucose level it is clear that your present treatment is totally inadequate. It needs to be upgraded. You are a sure candidate for regular Insulin treatment along with oral antidiabetics. As regards use of alcohol, is definitely not advisable is such a severe diabetes. Because already there is a stress on the metabolic activity and alcohol will further damage the liver, plus it will blunt the response to recognise sudden changes in blood glucose levels. Thanks.
