I take Metformin for type 2 diabetes and I drink beer daily, and I would like to know how many beers per day are considered excessive?I am concerned about the condition of Lactic Acidosis and understand that excessive drinking can contribute to this condition.
Dear Friend, greetings from Chat Doctor. I understand your concern... Chat Doctor. . And as you told it may harm your health. You shall have to reduce the frequency and eat healthy nutritious food too. Because alcohol can cause deficiency of some important nutrients which are. Very much necessary for metabolic process . Definitely you cannot go more than 350/500 ml as you told metformin itself can rarely cause lactic acidosis . Noe in addition you may have more chances . Please do exercise daily at least walk 1 hour every day . Eat more of green leafy vegetables . Fruits and fiber rich diet .like its and miles. Whole grain will have more fibers . Hope I answered your question and do contact us for more queries,
