Welcome to Eating Out Well

Eating out is a normal part of life. Restaurant meals, office lunches, parties and holiday dinners all happen. Having diabetes does not mean you have to skip them.

Good planning makes these meals easier to enjoy. You can check a menu early. That way, you know what to expect.

Your care team can help you plan meals that fit your needs.

The course has eight chapters. They cover planning, menus, fast food, cuisines, parties, special requests, holidays and other people's homes.

Each lesson gives you one idea to use at your next meal. No single meal has to be perfect for you to manage your diabetes well. You can enjoy the meal and still plan ahead.
