Not had doner kebab for years, full of c**p but very tasty.

Doner kebab meat or chicken kebab, salad and galic mayo with no pitta would be a good low carb choice for me.
I think there maybe some "rusk" in the doner kebab mixture so chicken is probably the lowest carb option of the two but both are good choices.

full of c**p

What makes you say that? I am sure, no worse than corned beef or the meat that goes into most ready meals.

I make my own kebabs , i make downer meat with 5% beef mince and loads of herbs and seasonings and it tastes just like a chippy diner, I also do a chicken one marinated in yogurt and loads of spices and cooked in oven both sooo good.

I would think though as a treat a kebab would be okay , I would have it and enjoy .

im new to having diabetes and still getting my head around what I can or can’t eat or avoid but was told by my nurse to be more mindful day to day and the odd treat but not in excess would be okay.

Doner meat has high levels of trans fat & salt, known to have harmful bacteria when not cooked thoroughly when heating, meat can be heated reheated several times.

Been in few dodgy kebab shops in my time.

I can't see how it can have high levels of trans fat from the ingredients list. There is more likely to be trans fats in the bread and cakes people buy, spreads/margarines, pizza, popcorn, pastries, doughnuts, chicken nuggets and fish fingers etc, so I am not sure that is a fair argument.

I have no problem with salt (I don't worry about it in cheese or pork scratchings which must have a higher concentration) or reheating meat as long as it is reheated properly, so that it kills any bacteria. I don't think there is anything in kebab meat that you might not find in your average sausage and I had reheated, leftover sausages last night.

So far you haven't given me any cause for concern about eating them.... Not that I have had doner kebab meat very often.... probably only once in the last few years, but I am not sure it is fair to describe them as you did.

Wasnt intended to cause you concern, merely stating fact about unhealthy ingredients in kebab meat, not healthiest of meats.

Even I'd eat that after a night in the pub!
Sometimes you need to go "ha, fat"
Obviously the beer helps the desicion!

I have doner meat and garlic mayo sometimes and hardly raises my BG levels at all.

How do you find Beer spikes your blood sugar? I’ve had 3/4 beers in 3 months
Admittedly a few glasses of low carb red wine

Always with beer. Always likes that red sauce & salad, wake up next morning & shirt would be covered in sauce as if you had nose bust night before.

Happy days, couldn't do it now like to be in bed by 10pm ha.

It doesn't.
When I was diagnosed, I decided to try the Newcastle diet to reverse my diabetes, and it seems to have been successful.
