Patients with high blood sugar and high blood pressure can eat steamed fish. In daily life, these patients should maintain a light diet and avoid foods that are high in sugar, calories, or salt. Steamed fish is relatively mild in flavor and rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, which can help lower blood lipid levels, improve coagulation function, and reduce the risk of thrombosis. When consumed in moderation, steamed fish does not adversely affect blood glucose levels.
