Should a diabetic person stay at home and miss all the good food? Not at all, if you have learned your meal planning and food exchanges well, you should have little difficulty finding good foods to eat wherever you go. Here are few simple suggestions for eating out.
Practice at home to find out the correct serving for yourself. Then at the restaurant you will be able to recognize how big a serving you should take.
Eat on time, or learn to cope with delays. Some diabetics delay their insulin injection until they know that the food is about to be served. Then they don’t have the worry of an insulin reaction while waiting for their meal.
If you take your insulin before leaving home, but you think there might be a delay in getting some food, eat a little before you leave home. Once you are out, you could request a drink that has enough sugar to prevent an insulin reaction. Or excuse yourself to go to the toilet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and take a quick snack from your purse or pocket while you are out of the room, or take along enough that you can offer some to everyone in your group.
If you find that you have ordered more food than you really ought to eat, many restaurants and food centers nowadays will pack up any extra food for you to take home. Keep it in the refrigerator, and you’ll have free meal for the next day.
Be careful of those 10-course wedding dinners. They can cause even the healthiest people to overeat. Learn how to place yourself, and eat only small servings. To make the time pass without eating more than you should, eat slowly, chew your food extra well, and talk more.
