It's easy to laugh about now but at the time diabetics spent the few years they often lived totally drunk.
So much so that it became linked in people's minds and helped feed the stereotype that diabetes was a personal failing (the same way people mistakenly look at alcoholism now) and not a genetic disorder.
Be very careful with wine because it will lower your glucose some hours after you drink it and if you are on insulin can have a reaction some 6 or 8 hours later.
Maybe we should start a petition for insurance to cover some REALLY nice Bordeauxs? hehehe
