Expert opinion from Toni Tran

Shrimps are low in carbs and rich in protein which can help stabilize blood sugar. Grilled shrimps or boiled shrimps are better choices for people with diabetes since they have fewer carbs and calories than breaded shrimps such as shrimp tempura and shrimp nuggets.

Yes, there is no scientific evidence to prove otherwise. Shrimp are a great source of protein, omega-3 and vitamin D, E, and B complex. Prefer to consume cooked or grilled to maintain these benefits.

Diabetics should not avoid shrimp consumption as shrimps are very low in carbohydrates and contain almost zero sugars, hence they do not significantly alter blood glucose levels.
