Alcohol abuse can impair the functioning of the liver and pancreas. This will affect your glucose (blood sugar) control. Young people generally do not experience significant changes in fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance, but as the body ages, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases.
Scientists from the University of Texas at Arlington Health Cardiovascular Laboratory analyzed data from two groups of people ages 50 to 64.
Heavy drinkers had higher fasting glucose levels. This means that drinking too much alcohol can have a negative impact on blood sugar regulation.
It is also known that alcohol consumption above recommended limits causes deterioration in the functioning of all organs and increases the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes and other diseases.
