@fionac – oops! There’s nothing like a night in A&E 
I do think a DAFNE course would be a good thing. As you know, booze is okay for us diabetics if you know how to handle it best. I have to confess to having being wildly pissed but – with some moderately sensible precautions (mainly, making sure to eat before bed) I haven’t ended up in A&E. Yet.
The worst post-booze hypo I had was after a wedding, where I had also been dancing all night too. By 3am my BG just went off a cliff. I had fruit pastilles by the side of the bed and all was soon well again, but not much fun for poor @Katie!
