Diabetes is a very common disease in our society; in fact, nearly 15% of adults suffer from it. Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise daily to control its symptoms and improve the quality of life of those suffering from the condition. Among the foods recommended by doctors are lean meat, eggs, legumes, and fish, both oily and white.
A recent study has revealed that eating one type of oily fish prevents diabetes: sardines. A very common product in the Spanish diet, especially in canned form. It's no wonder it has significant cardiovascular benefits, and now its role in controlling diabetes has been added.

After this division, they found that those individuals who incorporated sardines into their diet controlled their glucose levels and observed other health benefits, such as lower blood pressure and increased good cholesterol.
Similarly, the study established that although sardine intake is good for health, it should not be overindulged, limiting the intake of between two and three cans per week, which is suitable for all types of people. Oily fish is a very healthy option as it provides vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce heart problems.
It should also be noted that in addition to sardines, other oily fish such as tuna, salmon, and salmon are also good for diabetes, as their beneficial effects include helping to control blood sugar levels thanks to omega-3 fatty acids that aid glucose absorption.
