I have a good buddy of mine that has diabetes and I would like to brew something for him (he just had a kid, I'm sure he could use a few by now). Whenever we go out for beers he can only have one or two because of the sugars in them.
So the question is, can I make a GOOD beer that wouldn't send his insulin levels off the chart? I'm guessing that any alcohol inherently has a good amount of sugar/carbohydrates involved, but just wanted to know if this is possible. I also guess that making a good beer for a diabetic means lowering the ABV considerably. Anyhow, any ideas?
