Hi @clark008 ,

I guess to answer your first question, you are on a dedicated website, or the forum section of one. But yeah.... I think this is something to discuss with your girlfriend. We don't know what type of diabetes she has. You're 24, I'm guessing she might be around the same age and type 1 is more prevalent at that age than type 2, but if we just start guessing things and throwing random information at you, that'd be no use at all. The difference between type 1 and 2, and a bunch of other types, are quite big, and their treatments vary as well. What, if any, medication is she on, is she on insulin, does she carb-count etc etc... If she's a T1 then her way of coping is hers, and while researching is really sweet, you need to know what to research, first! A lot of T1's can eat the same thing other people do who don't have it, but a handfull needs to restrict carbs (gluten-free is not the same as low carb or zero carb!) to make management easier. So even within types, treatments vary. If she's a T2, the same thing goes. I am a diet-only type 2 diabetic, but there's plenty of people here who are on a load of different medications, diets or treatments... Different bodies, different lives, different needs. So it'd have to be rather specific for her situation. So find out first what her specific needs are and how you can help her. Because what is right for me, would not be right for possibly the next person to post, your girlfriend, the neighbour.... There is no one-size fits all.

I did have a look at the Wagamama site, and as a diet controlled, low carbing T2, there's not a lot there that I would be able to order, but if I leave out the rice/noodles/sweet sauces I might come some way. It helps that they have nutritional information on the site. Personally though, I'd likely eat elsewhere. And again.... If your girlfriend has a different type or different treatment, if she's on insulin for instance, the carb content listed on the website could help her inject the right amount for the food she's about to have. So.... Don't research diabetes. Research HER.

Good luck,
Jo

Hi. It's almost impossible for any one of us to guess what on the Wagamama menu might be "good for" your girlfriend.

I can tell you that as it has very little that isn't high carb, it's no good for me - but I'm a T2 in remission, normal BGs, never used any medication, and I have no idea about your girlfriend as you just say she's a "diabetic patient". I wouldn't describe myself that way. Gluten-free (or not) has no impact on any decisions I make about food.

So unless you know a bit more about your girlfriend's condition, I don't think you'll get anything useful.
 

Yeah! You're absolutely right Bro! But if someone has any experience with it! Meanwhile, I really thanks you guys for your attention
 
I was so much confused! But I think Now am almost clear about that! Thanks Again Guys
 
Actually, she want to go on date with me at Wagamama Restaurant, So I've researched a little bit about that and then landed on this forum, where people are discussing about diabetes or like that. So that's why I disturb you Guys! But you are really awesome! Really appreciate it guys!!!!!!
 
I used to love Wagamamas but far too many carbs for me these days. I don’t have one near where I live but used to go every time I visited London. Are you local to a Wagamama? or do you have a favourite restaurant of theirs you like to visit?
