🐟 And now, let’s get the fish out of the water and explore the 5 Worst Fish For Diabetics:

5️⃣ King Mackerel
King mackerel, especially the ones caught in the Pacific ocean, are high in mercury. Mercury is a heavy metal found in certain fish that can cause food poisoning, blood toxicity, inflammation, and birth defects in pregnant women.

4️⃣ Shrimp
While this crunchy orange seafood is high in protein, it is also high in dietary LDL cholesterol and pesticides. Eating shrimps can also increase both LDL and HDL cholesterol.

3️⃣ Tilapia
Eating tilapia fish promotes an unbalanced ratio of omega-6 and 3 which can be detrimental for diabetics. This can increase the risks of inflammation and obesity.

2️⃣ Eel
Eels are not farmed sustainably and they easily absorb chemicals and contaminants. It might intoxicate you and have a negative impact on your diabetes.

1️⃣ Tuna
Tuna contains higher levels of mercury than any other fish. Exposure to this element increases the risk of heart diseases.
