red wine apparently lowers blood glucose levels, but i'm talking like one cup a day

Drinking's a bad idea, because alcohol is generally accompanied by sugar.

Smoking's a bad idea in general, but is not related to diabetes.

Drinking is the same as eating white sugar as glucose absorption goes (ex-diabetic here). You can drink as long as you remember your insulin.

alcohol lowers blood sugar. You should be fine if its in moderation (1-2 glasses) and as long as you eat with it. Although if the alcohol has a high sugar content, that could throw it off, so make sure you can test your levels whenever you're drinking. Smoking will further increase your already high risk of cardiovascular problems.
