Individuals with high blood sugar can eat fish caught from rivers. Fish is rich in high-quality protein, low in fat, and contains no sugar; therefore, consuming fish in moderation when blood sugar levels are elevated will not cause a rise in blood glucose and can help replenish essential nutrients, offering significant health benefits. Excess sugar intake can lead to hyperglycemia; thus, antihyperglycemic medications should be taken under a physician’s guidance, and foods high in sugar should be avoided.
