I'm switching tuna for salmon. Thanks for the tip. Although, one detail you did leave out is to avoid ALL farmed fish. Eat only wild-caught salmon. Also, and I don't want to sound picky but herring are a marine fish, not a river fish.
Well this is good information but it's well known information. The problem is affordability for most people, especially during this time when the cost of food, especially protein sources is expensive. And the fish you named as acceptable is the more expensive if you purchase the better quality. If you purchase the fresh wild caught version and you lived on a fixed budget, you won't be eating it very often, if at all. The frozen version sold of the good fish on the list sold in most grocery markets is bad quality and taste horrible. I love fish, and at 68yrs old and a T2 diabetic I still perform bodybuilding resistance training and I consume a larger amount of protein foods than most people and I don't avoid tuna, or shrimp. I just don't eat it often. If I want to diet down and lean out my body I do consume more Albacore tuna as a source of protein.
I am a T2D and also on Meals on Wheels in AZ.. they serve home delivered meals that sometimes have tuna, tilapia, shrimp or dry salmon chunks. AM l supposed to throw those meals away?
Hi Michele! Not necessarily, but now that we are aware of the precautions and risks, it is best to consider to consume these occasionally in small portion sizes, but not as part of your regular diet.
very informative video, question, what about flounder, s a good fish to it for sweetys like me? thanks a lot. very hard nowadays to eat proper food. good day and Marry Christmas
Hi Volar777! We appreciate your thoughts and your love for tuna sandwiches! Regarding the list of "worst fish," it's important to note that the selection was based on various factors such as sustainability, mercury levels, and nutritional value. While tuna can be a tasty and convenient option, certain species of tuna can be high in mercury, which can be harmful if consumed in large quantities. It's great that you and your son enjoy eating tuna, and we would recommend checking the type of tuna you are consuming and monitoring your portion size to ensure you are getting the best balance of nutrition and safety. Thank you again for your support and for dropping us a message. We hope this information is helpful to you.
Thanks for your valuable information i didn't knew that Salmon is no1 fish for me as a diabetic patient what about the Smoke Salmon n smoke herrings is it worth for raw? Pls guide
Salmon is indeed a nutritious choice for individuals with diabetes due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein. Smoked salmon and smoked herrings can also be included in a diabetic diet, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind: Sodium content: Smoked fish, including smoked salmon and herrings, often have a higher sodium (salt) content due to the smoking process. For individuals with diabetes, it's important to watch their sodium intake, as high sodium levels can affect blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Therefore, it's advisable to consume smoked fish in moderation and consider other lower-sodium options. Quality and preparation: When choosing smoked fish, opt for high-quality, well-prepared products from reliable sources. Proper smoking techniques help maintain the integrity of the fish and minimize potential health risks. Pairing with other foods: Incorporating smoked fish into a balanced meal can help offset the higher sodium content. For example, include it as part of a salad with plenty of fresh vegetables or pair it with whole-grain bread and a side of steamed vegetables to create a well-rounded meal. Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific dietary needs and preferences. They can help you create a meal plan that meets your nutritional requirements while considering your diabetes management goals.
FYI , all large fish eat small fish. The amount of Mg is very small if caught in the wild. Its the farm fish that is exposed to all the chemicals that are put on farms for pest controls
You are correct that larger fish tend to eat smaller fish in the wild, and that farm-raised fish may be exposed to chemicals used in farming practices. It's important to be mindful of the type and source of fish you are consuming to minimize your exposure to potential contaminants such as mercury or pesticides. Choosing smaller, wild-caught fish and incorporating a variety of seafood into your diet can help provide important nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, while minimizing potential exposure to contaminants. As always, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine a personalized dietary plan that works best for you.
If salmon is expensive or not readily available in the Philippines, don't worry! There are plenty of other nutritious and affordable options to consider for your diet. Here are some alternatives to salmon that you can incorporate: Other Fish: Look for locally available fish that are more budget-friendly, such as mackerel, sardines, tilapia, or bangus (milkfish). These fish are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Eggs: Eggs are an excellent source of protein and healthy fats. They are also more affordable and versatile. You can cook them in various ways, such as boiled, scrambled, or poached. Legumes: Beans, lentils, and chickpeas are good sources of plant-based protein and can be used in a variety of dishes like soups, stews, and salads. Nuts and Seeds: Incorporate more nuts and seeds into your diet, like almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts. They are rich in healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients. Leafy Greens: Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, and moringa (malunggay) are nutrient-dense and can be used as a base for salads, stir-fries, or smoothies. Local Fruits and Vegetables: Embrace seasonal and locally grown fruits and vegetables to make the most of their nutritional value while being cost-effective. Coconut: Coconut is abundant in the Philippines and offers healthy fats and various culinary uses, including coconut milk, coconut oil, and shredded coconut. Remember that a balanced diet is about incorporating a variety of foods to meet your nutritional needs. While salmon is a great option, there are many other affordable and nutritious foods available that can help support your health and well-being.
It's true that certain types of fish may have varying effects on blood sugar levels, especially when considering their overall nutritional composition. However, fish is generally considered a healthy protein source for individuals with diabetes due to its high omega-3 fatty acid content, which can provide various health benefits. When selecting fish, it's important to choose varieties that are lower in mercury and higher in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, sardines, trout, and mackerel. These options are generally recommended for people with diabetes. As always, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice based on your specific health needs and dietary preferences.
I saw another show that said sardines were not good for diabetics. Because of the mercury in the sardines, are there two different kinds of sardines, that diabetics can eat?
Sardines are generally considered a healthy food choice for individuals with diabetes due to their nutrient content, including omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins and minerals. However, it is important to consider potential mercury contamination when consuming certain types of fish, including sardines. Mercury is a heavy metal that can accumulate in the bodies of fish, particularly larger predatory fish. High levels of mercury can be harmful, especially for pregnant women and young children. However, sardines are small fish that are lower in the food chain, and they typically have lower mercury levels compared to larger fish species. It's always a good idea to choose sardines that are sourced from reputable and sustainable fisheries, as they are more likely to have lower levels of mercury and other contaminants. Canned sardines, in particular, are often considered a safe option because they are typically processed and have undergone testing for contaminants. If you have specific concerns about mercury or any other dietary considerations, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs and health status. They can help you make informed choices and ensure that your diet aligns with your health goals.
Interesting tuna is not good because of mercury, but sardines are good even though they have mercury also. Looks to be same same. Farmed salmon the same, but again listed as ok.
as a person managing gout and type 2 diabetes there is basically no fish item on this list I can consume then. I like shrimp and eel, but if I' lucky i get that maybe 1x a month or 1x in 2 months when going for japanese AYCE. Eel is the same, it's more of treat. Salmon I only get when I consume eel. This list is not friendly for person managing both type 2 diabetes and gout. All the so called best 5 fish for diabetes also negatively impact gout and will very likely trigger a gout flare up within 12-24 hours.

Whiting fish, also known as Merlangius merlangus, is a type of white fish that is commonly consumed. It is a low-calorie and low-fat fish that can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet, including for individuals with diabetes. Whiting fish is a good source of protein, which is important for maintaining muscle health and promoting satiety. Protein can help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent spikes in glucose after meals. It also provides essential amino acids necessary for various bodily functions. Fish, including whiting, is generally considered a healthy food choice because it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats have been shown to have numerous benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving heart health, and supporting brain function. As with any food, portion control is important when incorporating whiting fish into your diet. It is recommended to bake, grill, or steam the fish rather than deep-frying it to keep the fat content low. It's worth mentioning that individual dietary needs may vary, and it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice tailored to your specific health condition and dietary requirements.
You are absolutely correct, and we apologize for the mistake in the video. We appreciate your attention to detail. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is often referred to as "good cholesterol" because it helps remove LDL (low-density lipoprotein) or "bad cholesterol" from the arteries and transports it to the liver for excretion. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, LDL is considered "bad cholesterol" because when it is present in elevated levels, it can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. Again, we apologize for the oversight, and it's essential to rely on accurate information when discussing health matters. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Thank you for sharing this information. You are correct that herring caught in Europe typically comes from the North Sea, which is a body of water located between Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. While some herring may be caught in rivers, it is much more common for them to be caught in the sea. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and helping to clarify this point.
You have presented 3 of the fishes one must avoid to eat largely triggered by mercury. I am surprised you did not list SALMON. I wonder why, considering they have the highest mercury content.
Hello there! Salmon is considered to be a relatively low-mercury fish, with levels typically ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 parts per million (ppm). This is lower than many other types of fish, such as tuna, which can have levels as high as 0.4 ppm. The highest mercury content found in fish is usually found in shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish, which can have levels as high as 1.5 ppm. It's always important to consult local government or health department's guidelines on fish consumption as they might have different recommendations and also to check with a health professional or a dietitian for specific recommendations.
Thank you for pointing that out. You are correct that LDL is commonly referred to as 'bad' cholesterol while HDL is referred to as 'good' cholesterol. We'll make sure our future videos would have this info correct. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing that you take B12 daily. B12 is an essential vitamin that plays a crucial role in the functioning of the nervous system, and it's important for people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet to supplement with it as it is mainly found in animal products. It's great to hear that you're taking steps to ensure that you're getting enough B12. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "if mess fish." If you could provide more information, I'd be happy to offer more guidance.

Well this is good information but it's well known information. The problem is affordability for most people, especially during this time when the cost of food, especially protein sources is expensive. And the fish you named as acceptable is the more expensive if you purchase the better quality. If you purchase the fresh wild caught version and you lived on a fixed budget, you won't be eating it very often, if at all. The frozen version sold of the good fish on the list sold in most grocery markets is bad quality and taste horrible. I love fish, and at 68yrs old and a T2 diabetic I still perform bodybuilding resistance training and I consume a larger amount of protein foods than most people and I don't avoid tuna, or shrimp. I just don't eat it often. If I want to diet down and lean out my body I do consume more Albacore tuna as a source of protein.
Well doubt I'd give up tuna fish or shrimp so...thanks for the info anyway
