Diabetes UK: Recreational Drugs and Diabetes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There hasn't been much scientific research on type 1 diabetes and the effects of recreational drugs.

We'd advise that you don't do them because they can cause lots of different health problems, addiction and get in the way of your relationships with friends and family.

What is a recreational drug?

A recreational drug is a drug that people take without a medical reason. Some people also call them 'party drugs'.

Effects of taking recreational drugs?

Different recreational drugs do different things that might cover up symptoms of a hypo or make you feel like you're about to have one.

Some drugs can also slow you down or give you more energy which can make your blood sugar levels go high or low.

If drugs make you lose track of time, it's also possible you might forget to take your insulin.

You might also experience something called a comedown for a few days after. Comedowns can affect your mood and make you less likely to look after yourself and your diabetes.

Staying safe

If you're going to do drugs and you feel like you can talk openly with your healthcare team, discussing it with them would be a good way of making sure you staying safe.

This could just be a simple conversation about ways to manage your diabetes while you do - this could be something like checking your blood sugar levels more throughout the night.

If you're going to do drugs, make sure you're with a friend that knows about your diabetes and knows how to recognise and help you treat a hypo.

If you're thinking about getting a tattoo or piercing as long as your diabetes is within range, there shouldn't be a problem.

There are just a few things to bear in mind before you get one though.

Blood sugar and tattoos

Having diabetes doesn't mean you can't have a tattoo or piercing. But your blood sugar levels must be in range before you do.

If they aren't, your tattoo or piercing might not heal properly or quickly, and risk getting an infection. Your blood pressure should also be stable to stop these problems. You might want to discuss it with your diabetes team before going ahead to check everything's okay.

Getting a tattoo can take a long time and be painful, which will make your blood sugar rise. Make sure you talk to the tattoo artist and take breaks regularly so you can monitor your blood sugar levels throughout.

Bring snacks and hypo treatments just in case.

Avoid certain parts of the body

If you have diabetes, you're best to avoid getting tattoos and piercings on certain areas on your body where there's a risk of poor circulation.

Tattoos and piercings in these places usually take longer to heal, which can cause infections. These include your bum, shins, ankles and feet.

You should also avoid areas where you usually inject insulin, like your arms, stomach and thighs, so you can clearly see if any infections are developing on these sites. If you use, or are considering using flash glucose monitoring, these should not be worn over areas with tattoos, as this could impact your results.

Use a licensed tattooist or piercer. Tattoo and piercing studios in the UK all need a licence from their local authority. This means that they're trained and follow correct, safe and hygienic procedures.

Make sure the studio you choose has this licence. You could also ask around for recommendations of a good studio to use or look at online reviews. Picking a safe and hygienic studio is really important. Unclean equipment can also cause infections and other illnesses.

Take care of yourself after your tattoo or piercing

It's really important to keep a close watch on your blood sugar levels after a tattoo or piercing and keep it clean and covered. This will help it to heal well and quickly.

If you get an infection, your blood sugar levels might rise. See your GP straight away for help if you show any signs of infection or feel unwell after a tattoo or piercing.

Medical tattoos

If you're getting a tattoo, it's probably of something meaningful to you. Some people use tattoos in another way though, which is to show that they have diabetes.

'Diabetes tattoos' have become quite common recently. People are replacing their medical jewellery with them to tell others that they have diabetes in an emergency.

Diabetes UK - Type 1 Diabetes and Drinking Alcohol

Diabetes UK - Type 1 Diabetes and Drinking Alcohol

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Whether it's a trip to the pub, a few drinks to unwind at home on a Friday night, dinner out or a weekend away at a festival, having a drink or two is all part of life for most people.

You'll be glad to hear it doesn't have to be any different just because you have Type 1 diabetes. But there are a few things you need to bear in mind to make sure you stay healthy.

Advice for managing your diabetes when drinking alcohol:

Be prepared. Get your diabetes kit and hypo treatments ready and check your blood sugar level before you start drinking.

Make sure you check your blood sugar levels regularly throughout the night.

Tell your new friends you have diabetes and what to do if you have a hypo.

Don't drink on an empty stomach. Eating foods that have carbs in them like a sandwich before a night out will help avoid a hypo.

Remember that eating isn't cheating. Make sure you carry snacks with you just in case, and eat before you go to bed.

Stick to diet mixers

Dancing is exercise, so remember that it can make your blood sugar levels drop. If you're walking around from venue to venue, this also counts.

Drink plenty of water when you get home, and check your blood sugar levels.

If you have a hypo, treat it before you fall asleep.

We have more in-depth information on drinking alcohol.

Drinking at university

Going out at university happens for the majority of us, and this often includes drinking. Most universities will have a dedicated Freshers Week where they host different night outs during the week.

Freshers' Week can be quite boozy. Don't feel pressured to drink alcohol at every opportunity, but Type 1 diabetes shouldn't get in the way of a great night. Below, Jess and Gavin chat to each other about what they do to make sure they look after their diabetes while they're out.

How much can I drink?

The government guidelines for alcohol are the same for everyone with and without diabetes which is 14 units a week.

How much is one unit of alcohol?

A standard pub measure (25ml) of vodka counts as one unit.

A 125ml glass of wine (9 per cent) counts as one unit.

Half a pint of beer, lager or cider (3.5 per cent) is one unit, too, but be aware that many beer and wines often have a higher alcohol content than this.

On a night out, it's important to pace yourself and make sure you know what your blood sugar levels are doing throughout the night. Drinkaware has a handy calculator you can use to see exactly how many units your favourite drinks have.

Can drinking make me have a hypo?

Drinking alcohol and hypos are common on nights out if you're not careful. This is because managing your blood sugar levels can be tricky if you're drinking and you have Type 1 diabetes. Alcohol, particularly lots of alcohol, can make your blood sugar drop too low, leading to a hypo when you're drinking or the day after.

There are different things you can do to help avoid having hypos when you're out or the day after including eating carbs, changing the type of drinks you choose. Tom and Emma speak about what they do before a night out to make sure they look after their diabetes.

After a night out and the morning after

Always have some breakfast if you've been drinking the night before, even if you don't feel like it. This will help your blood sugar levels and might make you feel better.

Make sure to check your blood sugar levels in the morning too because some hangover symptoms (such as headache, feeling sick, sweating and shaking) are similar to the symptoms you get with a hypo.

No matter how awful you feel, if it's a hypo you need to treat it straight away. Don't ignore it.

Your tips

Pace yourself and you'll have a great night

Isobel:

"I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes a few days before my 18th birthday. It meant spending my birthday night out sober, but I still had a brilliant time and remember everything which is a bonus!

"I did find it difficult to adjust to drinking and diabetes. I have to pace myself much more than my friends. If I'm going to a house party or drinking at home I avoid sharing a bottle of spirits with mates because it's really difficult to keep track of how much I've drunk.

"For a big night out I find that starting on slimline gin and tonic helps keep my blood sugars stable. If my levels start to drop later on I'll switch to full sugar drinks and make sure I get some chips on the way home. And I try to remember to leave a bottle of water and my diabetes kit and hypo treatments by my bed, so I wake up the next morning with everything I need.

"This routine is not dissimilar to what my friends want from a night out too: gin, a boogie, then chips. To pace myself I just need to check my sugars regularly and thankfully I've never had a bad experience."

Always carry hypo treatments

Rick:

"I can remember one time when my diabetes hit on a night out. I was in the middle of a club and felt... odd. More than the normal 'drunk'.

"My hands were shaking and I started to sweat - my usual hypo symptoms. But what I did next was stupid. Instead of getting a sugary drink from the bar, I decided to run two miles back to my uni accommodation to grab some food.

"It was totally stupid and unsafe. All my friends were still in the club and could've helped me out. Next thing I remember I was sitting on the kerb drinking a huge bottle of fizzy drink in massive gulps to treat my hypo.

"In hindsight I shouldn't have drunk so much - even without diabetes! It's easy to get caught up in that heavy drinking culture when you're at uni and not recognise the stress you're putting your body under. My lifestyle did catch up with me in the end. As a positive, it made me get into gear and now I feel more in control of my diabetes than I've ever been."

We spoke to young adults with type 1 diabetes to talk about sex, dating and relationships.

Sex, dating and relationships can be awkward for everyone, and worrying how type 1 diabetes might get in the way is normal. We talked to three different couples about those awkward moments when it feels like Type 1 diabetes just seems to get in the way.

Hypos in the heat of the moment. Insulin pump tangles. Plans screwed up to rush home to get insulin.

They also talked about how they deal with type 1 diabetes in their relationship day-to-day, and about what it means to have someone supporting you through the ups and downs of diabetes.

Having sex with an insulin pump

When Type 1 tries its hardest to ruin a good night, sometimes all you need is your testing kit, some perseverance and a supportive partner...

Dating with diabetes

When Ted found himself out for dinner with Storm, he had more than just first date nerves to think about...

Telling your partner

It's natural to worry about telling your new partner about your diabetes. It's difficult to open up to people sometimes but there isn't a right or wrong time to tell them about your diabetes.

Give them a small explanation of what diabetes is, about how you treat it and what things like hypos are. You don't have to go into loads of detail straight away, your diabetes is just another part of you that your partner will get to know about.

When Fawn and Chesney first started dating as teenagers, Fawn tried to hide her type 1 diabetes. It took an awkward car journey with her mum for Chesney to find out.

What to expect when your child moves into adult diabetes care

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
As your child grows up, they’ll move from paediatric care into adult care. This is what lots of medical professionals call transition. Everyone with type 1 diabetes will have a medical team around them that will help them manage their diabetes as best they can. Moving clinics can be a nervous time for both you and your child. You’ll both have to get used to a new team, a new system and as a parent or carer, you’ll have to get used to your child having more control when it comes to their diabetes management.
