| Question: | I have just been diagnosed as having insulin resistance. I eat reasonably healthily, but I drink white wine daily. Is this OK? |
| Answer: | A Unfortunately, alcohol can contribute hugely to blood sugar imbalances such as insulin resistance, simply because it converts to glucose very fast in the body. So in addition to following the right diet, and taking chromium, you really need to cut most alcohol out until you no longer test positive for insulin resistance. Give yourself a couple of months. In the meantime, I would recommend just having a couple of glasses a day at weekends only. |
