Recently diagnosed with type two diabetes

If you routinely eat sugar replacements can your body start to recognize them as sugar and you'll start getting spikes? To me this makes no sense (if you eat enough fiber your body doesn't start to break it down as sugar!) but someone on another forum insisted this was a thing.

I take 2.5 mg of glipzide once a day and 1,000 mg of metformin twice a day. FBS has been very stable all under 5.6. The warning on glipizide states: "Do not drink alcohol while taking this drug."

He said never binge drink while on glipizide. Is this sound advice from a reputable pharmacist?

Going on a cruise for New Year's Eve. I want to participate with the dancing and the partying. What drinks should I stick with that are safe for a diabetic. Thanks to all for your timely responses and Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!
