Any tips for eating out while managing gestational diabetes?

Question

Hey fabulous mamas! Eating out can be challenging when you're trying to manage gestational diabetes. How do you make healthier choices at restaurants or navigate menus to suit your dietary needs? Share your favorite tips, tricks, and restaurant recommendations that have helped you enjoy dining out while keeping your blood sugar levels stable!

Answer

I keep to a low carb diet and choose things from the menu that fit into that. Make sure you have enough protein and stay away from anything with the words fried, crispy, breaded, battered, etc. Go breadless if you can. Salads can be your bff, but add protein. At Chinese restaurants I’ll get steamed chicken and vegetables and edamame. I’ll only put on a little bit of the sauce for flavor and I usually don’t need the rice.
