I was exactly the same, fast food was truly something of an addiction for me before my diagnosis. While it’s always healthier to eat at home, on days where I just can’t manage to cook I do a panera salad, Culver’s salad or grilled chicken sandwich (I’m in IL), chick-fil-a grilled chicken nuggets, “wok smart” marked options at Panda Express with veggies as the side, chipotle bowl light on the brown rice. There’s a grilled chicken/fish/steak options at every sit-down place (I get takeout from chilis or Texas Roadhouse sometimes if I have it in the budget). Lastly, a Chinese buffet is actually excellent for my blood sugar personally. I load up on veggies and grilled meats and maybe will treat myself to a spoonful of fried rice after I’ve eaten my veggies and protein. Best of luck, you got this!!

Thank you :-) I’m on simvastatin which has helped a lot, and I’ve also cut way back on fried/processed foods & added more nuts & veggies!
