Yes! People with diabetes can eat shrimp but they should be aware of their cholesterol. We know that diabetics can have difficulty controlling cholesterol due to a high protein diet such as meat and eggs. Of the seafood, practically all are healthy for the diabetic but if prepared cooked or baked. Avoid eating shrimp or other seafood and fried fish. Because fried foods change the properties of nutrients, oxidizing and causing loss of vitamins and minerals.

Yes, people with diabetes can consume shrimp. There are certain restrictions due to the ill effects of the raise in cholesterol levels; hence, regular consumption is not advisable. Instead of deep-fried shrimp, try baked, grilled or steamed shrimp. Shrimp is a good source of protein, and it helps in regulating insulin sensitivity.

It does contain relatively high amounts of cholesterol (170mg) compared with other kinds of seafood, so people with diabetes who are also trying to avoid high cholesterol might want to skip it.
