Individuals with hyperglycemia may consume boiled large shrimp. Shrimp meat is rich in high-quality protein and can be consumed in moderation, which significantly aids physical recovery. However, diabetic patients with concurrent hyperuricemia should avoid eating shrimp. Additionally, salt intake should be carefully controlled; calcium-rich foods should be consumed regularly; smoking and alcohol consumption must be avoided to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
