So it is specially recommended for a diabetic patient that he must not have alcohol when the glucose level in his blood is low and his stomach is empty. Hypoglycemia can be caused after 8 to 12 hours of drinking so to avoid this level of blood glucose it should be checked before driving and also eat before or simultaneously while drinking. Symptoms are almost same for both hypoglycemia and too much of alcohol like a person will start feeling dizziness, disorientation; sleepiness etc. alcohol can also disturb your eating habits.
