| | | I LOVE that place. It's expensive, but their food is down right just awesome. I don't get there to often, but I just handle it like Applebees or any other midscale hamburger joint. Oh, their nachos for dessert are the best.

| | | confused..but be a type 1 thing
So I am confused, how a diabetic could eat such things. I am newly DX'd type 2. So either i am missing out on something or type 1's can get away with more varied eating.
I am so craving a big juicy, bacon and cheese covered burger with garlic fries, but would never even try. I had like 8 garlic fries when I was first DX'd and my sugars went pretty high. At least to a place where it wasn't worth having.
Lucky you who can have such things. Yummy!!!!!!!!

| | | Type 1s can generally get away with eating anything. Actually, in my opinion, most on insulin can get away with eating anything.

Hugs-Julie | Julie, I am on insulin, but find I can get away with some things, as long as it is not that often or that much. I can eat a fast food burger, but not the fries. I can eat a few fries, but not the burger. Even with insulin, I have big spikes if I try to eat more than one big carb item. Before insulin, I made the kids walk with me to the pizza place, then I could have a couple of pieces, or we walked to Dairy Queen and I could have ice cream. Now I can't do the walking and it no longer works anyway, so I do not indulge very often, and I am very careful when I do, even with the insulin.

| | | Julia: If you're not on insulin, you will have to be more careful as certain things will cause your blood sugar to spike.
If you're really craving that type of burger...have it...just have the bottom (thin) part of the bun. I'll just cut the bottom bun in half and have half my burger on bun and the other have without the bun. You still get the satisfaction of the burger, but aren't likely to go as high blood sugar-wise. If I really want french fries, I'll snatch 3-4 off hubby's plate and usually do okay...for me, bread is a bigger blood sugar trigger.
Also, as you go longer without certain foods, your cravings will go down as well.

| | im on insulin also but i find that it may have something to do with weight. I'm around 140 and i can have a burger and fries without my BG going to high. My friend is a little hevier and his BG seems to go a little higher. Also if i want a burger, i try to go to "in n out" where they have lettuce wraped burgers.

| | | as much as i love jimmy buffet's music, i cant say i would go out of my way to eat at his resturants. the one in key west (margaritaville) is some pretty bad food, but then again, i try to steer clear of chain resturants, and support local shops. the cheeseburger in paradise place, i ate at one in omaha while doing a contract job in january. ehh, it was okay. but i try not to eat any soy or hydrogenated oils, so i would pick somewhere else first. but if you like it, go for it!
i'm type 1 and have no problem with burgers and onion rings. love onion rings.

And then I went back a week later and ate them again. Great place to eat. Found one about 15 minutes from the house, we have 2 in Columbus and only thought we had one up north part of Columbus.
Great food.
