What sort of diet do you follow? What type of diabetes do you have?

Yum - my favourite subject !

If you're aiming for low carb then avoid sauces as they generally contain sugar, rice, breads, go for grilled meats/fish, salads, you'll do very well at an Indian restaurant on low carb options.

I have a side of curry with my curry, no breads or rice. Check for “sweet” sauce or potatoes in the descriptions.

Tandoori and salad works. Mushroom bahjee is lush. I’m a bit of a wimp so butter chicken works and doesn’t mess up my bgl at all.

Anything dry and grillled chicken tikka, mixed grill, lamb tikka along with a low carb veg like spinach, aubergine (brinjal) cauliflower or maybe mushroom bahji.

This is interesting for me- a group of friends are planning to go to an Indian restaurant and I was invited- I looked at the menu and couldn't identify anything I felt I could eat. In Australia if that makes any differences- all had sauces of some type and I wasn't confident enough to go. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Eating out is still very hard for me and I just avoid it as much as possible.

Good luck and enjoy!

Try to checkout for salads without dressings and virgin mojitos in menu.

Another for chicken tikka or a tandoori with salad - often go for mixed tandoori - if a takeaway I make my own yoghurt and mint dip
