Here is an interesting article for you:

Dispelling the Cholesterol Myth about Prawns.

Perhaps due to their wariness of cholesterol, some consumers limit their intake of shellfish. This may explain why the majority of prawns are bought as a treat in December for the popular Christmas dish - prawn cocktail. While delighted that there’s such a demand for prawns at this time of the year the Sea Fish Industry Authority (Seafish) is campaigning to dispel the myth about cholesterol and keep prawns on the menu all year round.

People are confused by the message that prawns contain high levels of cholesterol. Cholesterol is only found in foods of animal origin and liver, egg yolk and shellfish are the major sources of dietary cholesterol. However, the level of blood cholesterol is affected more by the amount and type of fat in the diet than the amount of dietary cholesterol. A high intake of saturates, and fat of all types, can increase the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver and so the amount in the blood. This increases the risk of heart disease. Prawns are naturally low in saturated fat, 100g contains only 0.2g.

Prawns have only 99kcal per 100g while other proteins such as beef mince contain 209kcal and 13.5g of fat and grilled sausages contain 294kcal and over 22g of fat. Prawns are even lower in calories and fat than chicken. As well as being high in protein, prawns contain magnesium, which plays a role in bone development and nerve and muscle function; Zinc, which is good for growing bodies, and selenium, an important antioxidant.

Mandy Queen, consumer manager at Seafish says: "Prawns are mostly available already cooked. They can be bought frozen, pre-packed or straight from the fishmonger’s and are incredibly easy to incorporate into any dish – all you need to do is open the packaging. They can be added to meals such as curries, stir-fry’s, salads, pizzas, sandwiches and make a great snack too - prawns are ideal for dipping and are a much healthier alternative to crisps. Prawns are also excellent value for money and are available to buy for less than £1 per 100g."

For those who are passionate about prawns, Seafish has two free prawn recipe leaflets and a recipe booklet for the first 5,000 consumers who send a postcard to Prawn Recipe Offer, PO Box 119, Edinburgh, EH7 4HS or e-mail [e-mail]. The public can find over 300 seafood recipes at www.seafish.org.uk.
I love prawns, and don't spare a chance when i get it, but within limits.

Yes, some fish types have high cholesterol level, while some have low. It is better to consume fish twice or thrice in a week and not more than that. For fresh quality of fish, purchase only from hamviseafood, it offers good quality and quick delivery. It is the best dealer in Mumbai.

Answer 9

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/AFrTN
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.
