A client with type 2 diabetes who requires insulin asks the nurse about having alcoholic beverages. which is the best response by the nurse? "alcohol is detoxified in the liver, so it is not a good idea for you to drink anything with alcohol." "if you have a drink, the blood glucose value may be elevated at bedtime, and you should skip having a snack." "if you are going to drink, it is best to consume alcohol on an empty stomach." "you can have one or two drinks a day as long as you have something to eat with them."
