How To Choose Foods That Are Good For You [Can a Diabetic Eat Seafood] - Eating Out With Diabetes - Food Safety Guidelines

Diabetes affects millions of Americans every year. If you or someone you love has diabetes, you might wonder whether seafood is safe to eat.
Diabetics need foods that do not add extra glucose into their system. Foods such as seafood that are low in carbohydrates can do just that.
Seafood is a great source of protein and nutrients, but some types contain high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol.

Seafood for Diabetics
Shrimp
Salmon
Shellfish like Crab and Lobster

Shrimp is a high-protein food that stabilizes your blood sugar. It helps your satiety (feeling full). Carb energy will burn quickly, but proteins and fats will give a stable energy level and sail you through until your next meal.

Salmon – both canned and fresh – is a rich source of healthy omega-3 fats, protein, and carbohydrates, the healthiest fat that reduces inflammation in blood cells and helps manage your cholesterol level.

Shellfish decreases the risk of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, and, at the same time, promotes healthy cholesterol levels

Crabs are a good source of chromium that helps insulin metabolize your sugar, and thus lowers high blood glucose levels in your body. Crabs may have an anti-cancer effect due to the presence of selenium in them.

People with diabetes should avoid eating large amounts of seafood because of its high content of mercury
Seafood is an excellent source of omega-3 fats, but it is also high in salt. Diabetics should limit their intake of seafood to six ounces per week to avoid increasing their blood pressure.
