[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2408992, member: 521079"] Well some stats imply there are more meat free eaters in the UK than diabetics and the stats also seem to indicate a general increase to this form of diet hence the increasing dietary demands in restaurants. After all, if no demand then capitalist society wouldn't support them [URL]https://www.finder.com/uk/uk-diet-trends[/URL] discuss about 14% compared to 6% diabetics ([URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-prevalence.html[/URL]) Also as [USER=538114]@StewM[/USER] indicates there is no such thing really as a diabetic diet. Some insulin dependent can eat pretty much normally but I do appreciate that's hard to do without the nutritional knowledge of the food. But of course restaurant food is generally a treat, we can look hopefully at menus beforehand and get an idea of the least impactful. I don't suspect many cater really in most places for health. Hence the push to display nutrition info and to legislate on portion sizes etc. Bit contrary given "eat out to help out". That said, a good restaurant will be able to take your requirements into account. Unless they are those that batch book and heat up, customising meals is something that with planning (phone ahead for example) can make for specific meals for you maybe? [/QUOTE]
