Drink to Help Your Insulin

According to Scientific American, moderate alcohol consumption can help reduce the risk of type-2 adult onset diabetes.  The alcohol enhances insulin sensitivity, therefor allowing glucose to work properly in the body, overall reducing the risk of diabetes.  However, heavy drinking has been linked to higher blood glucose levels, a precursor of diabetes.  So again, all in moderation friends.
