[QUOTE="ainiabdul, post: 1209713, member: 309251"] Hi There :couchpotato:, When it comes to eating out, so far I have very minor challenges. I would always try to ask about ingredients of the food I am settling my eyes in to. There are many times that the waitress/waiter do not understand why I asked such detailed questions. Then I mentioned that I am diabetic. It will be difficult for me to control my BG if I have sugar or carb from rice, bread, pasta etc etc. They are usually very understanding. It took a little bit of effort to explain patiently, but it does the work for me. Sometimes the chef comes out and explain to me directly. Which is very nice too. There's a bit of spike here and there, but they're not major at all - as I do not have full control on the food prepared by others. Eating out is lovely. I still enjoy it the way I did before the diagnosis, just with pre-caution. I am not drinking alcohol anymore, even though I miss my wine or bubbles - but I am not desperate :pompous: The only thing I am feeling blue about often is that I can't really go have those cups of nice coffee anymore, as coffee raised my BG level significantly. I am now a big fan of sparkling water with a squeeze of lime or lemon, so refreshing! Goodluck with your eating out moments. Sending you the good vibes! xxx [/QUOTE]
