Dining Out or Ordering In Choices Oh, the pleasures of having a meal in your favorite restaurant! Whether it’s your go-to fast casual eatery or a romantic white linen spot, dining out can be the highlight of our week—and so can ordering in.

But when you have diabetes and may also be trying to lose weight, it can be hugely stressful instead—especially if you’re new to figuring your way around a menu when restrictions are on your mind.
