You can still drink alcohol while living with diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends one or two cocktails to improve blood sugar management and insulin sensitivity. Asides from this, alcohol can also interact with some diabetes medications. Thus, while you can take alcohol with diabetes, do so with moderation and caution.
