Is it safe for people with high blood sugar to eat yellow catfish?
Disease description:
This morning, during my hospital checkup, I found that my blood glucose level was slightly elevated. At lunch, a friend treated me to yellow catfish, so I’d like to ask: Is it safe for someone with high blood glucose to eat yellow catfish?

Patients with high blood sugar can consume yellow catfish, but intake should be moderated. Yellow catfish is rich in high-quality protein, fats, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and other nutrients, which help replenish essential nutrients and provide energy. However, patients with hyperglycemia who also have hyperuricemia should limit their consumption of yellow catfish, as it contains relatively high levels of purines, which may trigger gout.
