Here are some tips to help you choose well at fast food restaurants if you have diabetes:
- Know that an average fast-food meal can run as high as 1000 calories or more and raise your blood sugar above your target range.
- Know the nutritional value of the foods you order. Although there are some good choices, most fast-food items are high in fat and calories.
- If you're having fast-food for one meal, let your other meals that day contain healthier foods, like fruits and vegetables.
- Think about how your food will be cooked. Chicken and fish can be good choices -- but not if they are breaded and deep fried.
