Well, I don't really drink other alcohol than wine. I suppose I could experiment . I don't find that other things lower my blood sugar. "Herbs" don't usually help T1s. I do use symlin in addition to my insulin pump;this very much lowers postprandials, but the total amount required for carbsremain the same.
I don't think that alcohol is an insulin mimetic- the primary reason for a basal is as a counterregulative to glucagon.
