It’s not easy dining out with diabetes or pre-diabetes. I research online for nutrition info at various restaurants which is a pain. The results show that the carb heavy foods are the majority items on most menus. Near my villa is a Subway, Sammy Jo’s Pizza (I love pizza), Chinese take-out, Beef Obrady’s and the new Cody’s. That doesn’t leave me with many options although Cody’s does have more low carb options (salad, chicken, fish, steak) than the others after substituting veggies for potato, rice and pasta. Can’t have that great bread with the cinnamon butter. One of our favorite restaurants was Red Sauce but that is no longer really an option. But the good news is with me making better food choices, I’m down to a weight I was at 20 years ago.
