When you have diabetes there are certain foods that can help or hinder your health. Each food may have its pros and cons, but the main idea is that everything is good in moderation. Fish is often recommended in the average diet, and here is a guide to how this relates to diabetics.
In a balanced diet, which is extremely important for diabetics, fish is great for adding protein. It also has other benefits of the oils contained within the fish known as 'omega 3'. These oils are made of polyunsaturated fat and are found in fish such as salmon and sardines. They are good for lowering the fat in your blood and protecting against cardiovascular disease. Fish in general is a great low-fat way of adding protein to your diet.
If you have diabetes then you will be at higher risk of cardiovascular disease meaning that it will be a good idea to eat oily fish twice a week, as opposed to the general recommendation of oily fish once per week for those who do not have diabetes. Oily fish may be higher in calories but they are recommended even for those trying to lose weight. They are also a great source for vitamin D.
If you think you do not like fish then there are ways to include different types of fish that may appeal to you. Some fish are strong tasting, but others are less fishy and therefore more appealing to those who do not normally eat fish.
