If you have diabetes, drinking alcohol may cause your blood sugar to either rise or fall. Plus, alcohol has a lot of calories.
Diabetes and Alcohol Consumption Dos and Don'ts:
People with diabetes who drink should follow these alcohol consumption guidelines:
Do not drink more than two drinks of alcohol in a one-day period if you are a man, or one drink if you are a woman. (Example: one alcoholic drink = 5-ounce glass of wine, 1 1/2-ounce "shot" of liquor or 12-ounce beer).
Drink alcohol only with food.
Drink slowly.
Avoid "sugary" mixed drinks, sweet wines, or cordials.
Mix liquor with water, club soda, or diet soft drinks.
Always wear a medical alert piece of jewelry that says you have diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes in children is a condition in which your child's body no longer produces an important hormone (insulin). Your child needs insulin to survive, so the missing insulin needs to be replaced with injections or with an insulin pump. Type 1 diabetes in children used to be known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes.
The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children can be overwhelming, especially in the beginning. Suddenly you and your child depending on his or her age — must learn how to give injections, count carbohydrates and monitor blood sugar.
There's no cure for type 1 diabetes in children, but it can be managed. Advances in blood sugar monitoring and insulin delivery have improved blood sugar management and quality of life for children with type 1 diabetes.
Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children usually develop quickly, and may include:
Increased thirst
Frequent urination, possibly bed-wetting in a toilet-trained child
Extreme hunger
Unintentional weight loss
Fatigue
Irritability or behavior changes
Fruity-smelling breath
Causes
The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. But in most people with type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system — which normally fights harmful bacteria and viruses — mistakenly destroys insulin-producing (islet) cells in the pancreas. Genetics and environmental factors appear to play a role in this process.
Once the islet cells of the pancreas are destroyed, your child produces little or no insulin. Insulin performs the critical job of moving sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream to the body's cells. Sugar enters the bloodstream when food is digested.
Without enough insulin, sugar builds up in your child's bloodstream, where it can cause life-threatening complications if left untreated.
What is Diabetes - MODY?
MODY stands for “Maturity-onset diabetes of the young”
MODY limits the body’s ability to produce insulin, but is different than the juvenile type of diabetes (Type 1 Diabetes). When our bodies don’t produce enough insulin, it can increase blood glucose levels. High blood glucose levels lead to diabetes.
What are the Signs and Symptoms?
People with MODY may have mild diabetes symptoms. MODY symptoms tend to develop gradually, so you may have no symptoms at first. That’s why MODY is often left undiscovered until later in life or may be confused with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms may include:
Frequent urination
Thirst
Dehydration
Blurry vision
Recurrent skin infections
Recurrent yeast infections
People with MODY may have high blood sugar levels for many years before they experience any symptoms.
What Causes MODY?
MODY is a “monogenic” disease. This means it is caused by a single gene mutation.
A number of different gene mutations can cause MODY. If you have a family member with MODY, you have an increased risk for the condition.
While type 2 diabetes and MODY can both run in families, individuals diagnosed with MODY often have a family history of diabetes in successive generations: meaning MODY is present in a grandparent, parent and child.
How is MODY Diagnosed?
A blood sugar test is the first step toward diagnosing MODY. If your results indicate you have diabetes, your doctor may order additional tests to determine if you have MODY or another type of diabetes, such as type 1 or 2.
Since MODY is caused by a genetic mutation, a genetic test can also help diagnose it. This testing will determine the exact type of MODY.
MODY is caused by a genetic mutation passed on through the family. There’s currently no way to prevent or cure it, but it can be managed, and predicted. Knowledge is power.
How is it Treated?
MODY is often treated with oral medications or insulin injections, and some forms may not require any treatment.
Diabetes can cause distress/depression where as depression can also become an source for diabetes.
Diabetes and distress is a two way relationship.
