Eating Fish With Diabetes: How Often? Many experts recommend eating seafood about twice a week, but new research suggests that in the case of seafood and diabetes, more isn’t always better. While the jury is still out, a 2009 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition uncovered a slight increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes in women who eat a lot of fish — particularly in those who eat a few servings per week and in those who eat fish more than once a day. However, a 2011 study on the same topic found that fish consumption decreases diabetes risk in men and does not affect risk in women. Because it’s not known what this research may mean for people who have already been diagnosed with diabetes, it seems prudent to keep it to twice a week. Talk to your doctor if your blood sugar seems to be more difficult to manage after you eat seafood.
