Hi welcome to lybrate. Beer contains carbohydrates. Carbohydrates will cause an increase in blood sugar level and worsen the diabetes. Bottle of beer is not at all beneficial. It is actually harmful for you generally, walking for minimum 45 minutes a day + strict diet control can reduce your blood sugar. Share your reports at lybrate.

Beer has a lot of sugar, but if your sugar is under control and you can't quit then have it once in 15 days. But then decrease other sugar containing products to compensate.
