I'm on insulin - human mixtard 30/70 - 18 points in the morning before food and 10 points in the night after food. Once I was a heavy drinker. Now I drink whisky once in a while. Is it safe?

No I am afraid not drinking is not good for diabetic patients and you must avoid it as much as you can rather I would say just let it go off if you ever want to be off insulin on to oral medications.
