5. Rum
A popular choice liquor is rum and it ranks 5th on our list of best alcoholic drinks for diabetics type 1 or type 2. One thing to recognize and understand when you have diabetes is that the higher the alcohol any given liquor contains by volume, the more dangerous it can be. While most rums are 80 proof (40% alcohol) Bacardi 151 has a much higher alcohol content, as it is 151 proof. It would be safe to say to just stay away from that particular brand, altogether. While Bacardi has other flavored rums with less alcohol content, you’re then going to run into the problem of there being carbs and sugars in them that come from the flavoring agents. Rum and Coke is a popular drink with rum being the star of the show. However, rum and diet coke would be a smarter choice for you and will typically run under 100 calories and around 3 grams of carbs per drink if you stick with an 80 proof rum.
