and consumption pattern. Regularly drinking a mod-
erate amount of alcohol could reduce the chances
of developing diabetes. Consuming alcohol three or
four days a week is associated with a reduced risk
of developing diabetes a 27%reduction in men and
a 32%reduction in women compared with abstain-
ing. Recommending a moderate use of alcohol with
a purpose of taking advantage of its health benefits
must not be done. The additional consumption of
ethanol will promote metabolic changes, weight gain
and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases,
altering the lipid profile and promoting hypertension
in both gender.
Accordingly more studies are needed to determine
whether the beneficial effects of daily moderate al-
cohol consumption outweigh the deleterious effects
.Diabetics should avoid heavy drinking because it can
cause hypoglycaemia and ketoacidosis and ultimate-
ly increase diabetics risk of death from non cardio-
vascular causes.
