The Demon Drink and Diabetes Type II

[Terry Bergin]

Firstly, commiserations: the dietary restrictions are tiresome, but, as a
chum is fond of saying about life, it is preferable to the alternative.

Secondly, your mail raises a matter I have often wondered about when reading
posts on this list: what do members of the list consider "moderate
dramming"? When dramming I rarely manage less than 4 measures at a session
(and, yes, I do have a measure - spouse with puritanical tendencies).

Ladies, Gentlemen and others,

So it goes. I am now obliged to busy myself with adult-onset Diabetes,
otherwise known as Diabetes Type II, and its many derivative topics. The
fearful scourge of wee, fat, ageing boozers. They  dont call me "Glenrothes
Man" for nothing!

Has anyone on the list something to contribute on the inter-relationship
between drinking (specifically, whisky-drinking)
and Diabetes Type II. I'm hoping for info and experience on effects, and on
tried and true techniques and procedures to limit ill-effects of moderate
dramming.

I will happily and carefully respect the confidence of off-list discussion.

But maybe it has relevance to MALTS-L. After all, we are all of us going to
age (gracefully, we hope), and I guess that many of us are at risk, if not
actually there. Come on - out of the cupboard, you lot!

Your thoughts, please.

Uncle Ralph
