Omega-3 Fatty Acids & Diabetes

Strive to eat more seafood. Seafood contains omega-3 fatty acids that are considered a good type of fat because of the benefits they provide.

Omega-3 benefits include:

• reduction of blood triglyceride levels,
  
• prevention of blood clotting (which can cause blood vessels to narrow and ultimately become blocked),
  
• possible reduction of blood pressure, and
  
• food sources are low in saturated fat.

Seafood tends to be the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. The American Diabetes Association recommends 2-3 servings of fish per week for dietary omega-3 fatty acids.
