Adults With Prediabetes - Managing Sit-Down Restaurant Meals

Pre-diabetes diagnosis 18 months ago — would love to hear how you handle sit down restaurants Hoping to talk to a few people here for 30 minutes. Quick context: I'm 44 and got diagnosed pre-diabetic about 18 months ago. I overhauled how I eat — cut ultra-processed foods, started strength training, fixed my sleep — and lost 45 lbs. The hardest part wasn't the kitchen or the gym. It was eating out. Sit-down restaurant menus aren't built for people trying to stay on track, and I kept getting tripped up. I'm exploring whether anyone else in this community is dealing with the same thing, and I'd love to hear your stories. I'm not selling anything, not pitching a product, not running a survey. I just want to talk. What I'm asking for: 30 minutes on Zoom or phone, whenever works for you I'd record audio with your permission, just so I can listen back $25 Amazon (or equivalent) gift card as a thank-you for your time I'd especially love to hear from you if: You're managing a metabolic condition, actively losing weight, or following a strict protocol (keto, Mediterranean, low-carb, etc.) You've eaten at a sit-down restaurant in the last month You asked the server for some kind of modification — dropped an ingredient, asked for something on the side, swapped a side, etc. If that's you, DM me with your time zone and a couple of windows that work this week. Happy to share more about who I am and what I'm doing before we talk. Thanks for reading.
