Can Diabetic Kidney Disease Patients Drink Alcohol(Wine)?

Can diabetic kidney disease patients drink alcohol (wine)? Besides treatment, diabetic kidney disease patients also care about the food which they should take in to assist the treatment. Generally, they are forbidden to drink alcohol or wine.
Firstly, liver is used to detoxify what we take in, which includes detoxifying alcohol or wine we take in. Patients with diabetic kidney disease are suffering from disorder of sugar metabolism. So they can not store sugar in liver and the detoxifying ability of liver is bad.
Secondly, drinking too much alcohol or wine can lead to high blood fat, which accelerates the occurrence and development of diabetic kidney disease and the arteriosclerosis.
Thirdly, excessive amount of alcohol or wine can also inhibit the degradation of liver glycogen, which makes low blood sugar appear. Low blood sugar is very dangerous, which can even threaten patient’s life.
Fourthly, long time taking in alcohol or wine can also lead to obstacles in the absorption of nutrition, thus causing insufficiency of vitamin. Every kidney disease patient should complement enough vitamin.
In addition, report from England said that a doctor analyzed 1239 type 2 diabetes aging from 55 to 81. The investigation lasts for five years and a half. The researchers find out that compared with those who do not take in alcohol or wine, patients who take in alcohol or wine every week have declined eyesight. So diabetes patients should also limit the intake of alcohol or stop alcohol. The heat in alcohol is obviously higher than that of other food, which may lead to the fluctuating of blood sugar, thus accelerating the disorder of sugar metabolism.
