Strategies to eat low mercury fish for diabetics

• Choose Low Mercury Fish
• Choose fish with lower mercury levels to reduce
  your risks of mercury intake. For example,
  salmon, sardines, tilapia, shrimp, oysters, and
  scallops are good choices. Further, these types
  give you important nutrients without having too
  much mercury.

Limit High Mercury Fish

• Fish with mercury levels exceeding 0.3 parts per
  million (ppm) are typically categorized as
  high-mercury fish. Kindly, avoid or reduce eating
  fish that exceed these levels.
• Particularly, fish with higher mercury levels
  include large predatory fish species and those
  that have longer lifespans, allowing them to
  collect more mercury over time. These include
  sharks, swordfish, king mackerel, marlin and
  tilefish (from the Gulf of Mexico). Also, try not
  to eat too much tuna, especially albacore and
  bigeye kinds.

Follow Guidelines

• Follow the advice from your local and national
  authorities about eating fish, especially if you
  catch fish from nearby waters. The guidelines
  will tell you which fish to stay away from or eat
  just a little bit of.

Portion Control

• Diabetics, pregnant women, women planning for
  getting pregnant, breastfeeding mothers, and
  young kids need to be extra careful about eating
  fish. Moreover, they should only eat low mercury
  fish and follow the local fisheries /health
  guidelines about how much fish they should eat
  each week.

Selecting Low Mercury Fish for Diabetics

• If you choose your fish carefully and don't eat
  them too often, you can get its health benefits
  while also keeping away from too much mercury
• For example, choose fatty and low mercury fishes
  such as salmon, trout, tilapia, cod, sole,
  sardines, shrimp, oysters, herring, chub
  mackerel, and scallops which are rich in omega-3
  fatty acids.
• These fishes typically contain mercury levels
  ranging from 0.09 to 0.20 ppm, varying with
  environmental factors. However, their moderate
  mercury levels make them safe for consumption,
  ensuring your health and well-being.

  healthy by choosing low mercury fish wisely and
  being careful about how often you eat them. By

  benefits from fish while keeping yourself safe
