Can you drink alcohol if you have type 2 diabetes?
Trulicity is a medication doctors prescribe for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sometimes, patients with type 2 diabetes may wonder whether or not it is safe to consume alcohol, either with or without a prescription medication.
According to a 2019 study, gender, ethnicity, and demographic factors should be taken into account when determining a diabetes diagnosis. These factors, along with alcohol consumption at various levels, may determine the effects alcohol has on a person with type 2 diabetes.
Before consuming alcohol, talk with your physician about potential side effects and risks, especially if you are taking a prescription drug, such as Trulicity.
