Diabetes-Friendly Sushi – Your Ultimate Guide

Sushi is a favorite dish for many, but navigating this carb-heavy food can pose a challenge for those with diabetes. Learn more about the varieties of sushi, nutrition information, and tips for enjoying diabetes-friendly sushi.



Sushi can be challenging for people with diabetes, who often refer to it as the “food they love that doesn’t love them back.” Why? Because depending on the type of sushi you order and the portion you eat, it can be a healthy pleasure, or a decadent disaster.

How is sushi made?


Traditional sushi is made of small pieces of raw fish wrapped in rice and dried seaweed called nori. Pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce are common garnishes. The rice, which is the main ingredient, is prepared with vinegar, salt, and often added sugar. That’s why sushi can be such a challenge for people with diabetes. 


Rice is a food with a lot of carbs and can cause glucose levels to spike, or create a roller coaster with unpredictable swings in your glucose levels. Because of this, diaTribe recommends you reduce these “spiky” carbs with the goal of eliminating them. However, if you're not ready to ditch sushi just yet, there are ways to make sushi more diabetes-friendly.



If you’re new to sushi, use the list below to learn about how the different types are made. These different types of sushi vary primarily in how the fish and rice are put together.


  • Sashimi: Thinly sliced raw fish served by itself without vinegared rice or nori.


  • Chirashi: Vinegared rice in a bowl, topped with raw fish and nori slices.


  • Nigiri: A hand-pressed mound of vinegared rice, topped with a slice of raw fish.


  • Temaki: Fish, vinegared rice, and vegetables, hand-rolled in nori and shaped into a cone.


  • Maki: Fish, vinegared rice, and vegetables, rolled in nori and sliced into rounds.



  • Uramaki: Sometimes called inside-out roll because the vinegared rice is on the outside, and the nori is hidden inside.

Is sushi healthy?


Sushi can be healthy – many of the ingredients used to make sushi come with nutritional benefits. Fish and shellfish contain high-quality protein, heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients that are an important part of a healthful diet. 


“Eating fish regularly has been associated with lower risks of chronic diseases like heart disease," says Mary Ellen Phipps, a Houston, Texas-based registered dietitian and nutritionist. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends people with diabetes eat 4 ounces of fish at least two times per week. 



Many sushi varieties are also rolled and garnished with vegetables. There’s evidence that eating a variety of vegetables is associated with a reduced risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke. Vegetables are an important source of many nutrients, including potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin A, and vitamin C. “And the seaweed wraps used to hold sushi together (nori) offer iron, calcium, and vitamin A, as well as some anti-inflammatory properties,” says Phipps.


Traditional sushi is low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, for example:



  • Tuna roll: vinegared rice, raw tuna, and nori. One roll: 194 calories, 0.8g fat, 0.3 g saturated fat, 33mg cholesterol, 67mg sodium, 21g carb, 24g protein.
  • Shrimp roll: vinegared rice, raw shrimp, and nori. One roll: 155 calories, 1g fat, 0.3g saturated fat, 107mg cholesterol, 482mg sodium, 22g carb, 13g protein.
  • Vegetable roll: vinegared rice, asparagus, avocado, cucumber, green onion, and nori. One roll: 206 calories, 8.2g fat, 1.2g saturated fat, 0mg cholesterol, 153mg sodium, 30g carb, 6.6g protein.


In contrast, “Americanized” decadent sushi is often made with less healthy ingredients high in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and carbohydrate. Maki and Uramaki rolls have been more Americanized than any other type of sushi. Exercise caution when eating these types of rolls, which may contain deep-fried ingredients, mayonnaise, or cream cheese, for example:


  • Shrimp tempura rolls: vinegared rice, nori, battered and deep-fried shrimp, and may also have a crunchy, deep-fried coating. One roll: 400 calories, 11g fat, 2g saturated fat, 25mg cholesterol, 1160mg sodium, 61g carb, 11g protein.
  • Spicy tuna rolls: vinegared rice, nori, tuna mixed with spicy mayonnaise, and maybe topped with spicy mayonnaise. One roll: 379 calories, 19g fat, 3.1g saturated fat, 43mg cholesterol, 463mg sodium, 26g carb, 23g protein.
  • Philadelphia rolls: vinegared rice, nori, smoked salmon, and cream cheese. One roll: 391 calories, 14g fat, 6.3g saturated fat, 35mg cholesterol, 1115mg sodium, 55g carb, 11g protein.


Garnishes and sauces can also add more sodium and carbohydrate to sushi.

  • 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce, 690mg sodium, 2.8g carb
  • 1 tbsp wasabi, 678mg sodium, 9.2g carb
  • 1 tbsp pickled ginger, 99mg sodium, 3g carb
  • ½ ounce masago (roe), 380mg sodium, 3g carb
  • 1 tbsp unagi (eel) sauce, 33 mg sodium, 6.8g carb
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce, 879mg sodium, 0.8g carb


Keep in mind the ADA recommends people with diabetes have no more than 2300mg sodium daily. So, just one roll with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger would knock your sodium intake out of the ballpark. Then of course there’s the abundance of carbs. To stay in range, diaTribe recommends you have 100-150g carbs total per day with only 30g carbs per meal or snack. Certain types of sushi with a lower carb count, such as maki (as opposed to uramaki) can help you stay in range.

However, it should be noted that nutrition information varies from one source to another based on portion size, brand, and ingredients added. Therefore, you should consider the information as a point of reference only.


Is sushi safe?


Raw fish may carry parasites, bacteria, and viruses that cause foodborne illness. Phipps added, “to prevent the risk of contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends sushi fish be flash-frozen at sub-zero temperatures.” Complete freezing will kill any parasites.

Raw fish is also highly perishable. So, whether you are eating at a sushi bar or a Japanese restaurant, choose a busy place that serves a lot of sushi. The high turnover gives you a better chance of getting fresh fish.

Additionally, The FDA recommends pregnant women, children, older adults, and persons with weakened immune systems avoid raw fish. The good news is most sushi menus offer vegetarian sushi and sushi made with cooked fish that may be a good option for these groups.


How can you make sushi diabetes-friendly?


Here are a few steps you can take to make your sushi more diabetes-friendly:


Count carbs 


Counting carbs is the only way to know how many carbs you’re eating. This is important because carbs have the biggest effect on glucose, and it's easier to manage your glucose if you eat fewer carbs at each meal. 



"I find that eating one or two pieces of rice-filled sushi is generally pretty easy to manage and correct later if needed, whereas an entire plate is much harder to gauge and bolus for," said Larkin Fegurgur Clark, a San Francisco based journalist, filmmaker, and photographer who has has type 1 diabetes for 28 years. 


Opt for maki sushi instead of uramaki or nigiri 


There tends to be more rice on the uramaki and nigiri sushi, which contributes to a higher carbohydrate content. For example, a California roll – a type of uramaki roll with rice on the outside, has 38g carbs compared to the 27g carbs in a maki tuna roll. 

Although uramaki has more carbs in general, Clark finds the structure of uramaki and nigiri beneficial, in that the fish is placed over a mound of rice. 


"If my blood sugars are running high or I simply decide mid-meal, I don't want to have to put in the legwork of remembering to pre-bolus for the rice, such as when I'm out with a group. I can easily separate the rice and eat the lower-carb portion of the serving," Clark says. Chirashi sushi with the rice in a bowl will also make it easier to separate the rice.


There are many different types of food on the table.

Pair sushi rolls with other foods 


If carbs are combined with protein, fiber, or fats, it can slow down the release of glucose into the blood. So, start your meal with miso soup, a salad, or a side of edamame or vegetables.


Phipps, who has been living with type 1 diabetes for 30 years, finds this strategy helpful. "I've found that if I enjoy a non-starchy veggie or salad before eating the sushi roll and do a pre-bolus time of 20-25 minutes, my blood sugars typically do just fine," she said.


Clark also finds that sushi rolls with added fat can blunt the effect of the rice carbs. "I gravitate toward Rainbow or California rolls, both because I like the flavor and because the protein and added fat from the avocado seem to help delay the impact of the rice carbs a bit," Clark says.


Order brown rice instead of white 


Due to consumer demand, some restaurants now offer sushi made with brown rice. Brown rice has fiber that can slow the uptake of glucose. The fiber in brown rice also helps to fill you up more than white rice. Whether you’re eating sushi made with white or brown rice, portion control is a must.


Choose sashimi over sushi rolls 


Sashimi is only fish and has zero carbohydrates. “Sashimi is a go-to if my blood sugars are on the high side and there’s not enough time to bring them down before the sushi arrives,” says Clark. “I might also order sashimi with a side of rice, making it easier to bolus for the rice in a more familiar presentation, versus it being wrapped in a roll.”


Some restaurants even offer riceless sushi options, such as naruto sushi, which are sushi rolls wrapped with shavings of cucumber rather than rice and nori. 


Watch out for sauces 


Sauces such as teriyaki or unagi can contain a considerable amount of sodium and added sugar. Be sure to request the sauce on the side so you can control the amount you consume. Some restaurants will provide low-sodium soy sauce as an option.


Ask the server questions 


Sushi rolls – especially specialty rolls, can vary in size and ingredients. Ask the server about how many pieces are in the roll and what’s inside each piece. For example, Maki rolls range from small (Hosomaki) with one filling to large (Futomaki) with 2-3 fillings. The larger the roll, the more rice, and carbohydrates. 

"Larger rolls that have more rice will obviously require a larger pre-bolus, as will any sushi with a sweeter marinade or sauce incorporated into it," says Clark. "I always ask the server ahead of time if there are any sweet marinades or sauces I should be aware of, as that's not always clear on the menu," she added.

DIY with a sushi kit 


Making sushi rolls at home with a sushi kit is easier than you think, and it doesn’t even require culinary skills. Sushi-making kits are readily available in stores and online. 


A basic sushi-making kit includes a rolling mat, rice paddle, and rice spreader. Other kits provide all the ingredients needed for sushi rice, plus seasonings, a rolling mat, and recipes. Making sushi at home has many advantages. “You can more accurately measure the amount of carbs per serving and better control other variables, like added sugars and pre-bolus timing,” says Clark.



However, per the FDA recommendations, be sure to store raw fish properly to avoid foodborne illness, especially for pregnant women, children, and older adults.


Keep a diary 


Clark and Phipps both agree that it can take trial and error to keep your glucose levels stable while eating sushi when you have diabetes. Clark says, “If I really love a certain sushi type and it adversely impacts my blood sugars the first time I eat it, I’ll try eating it again with a minor adjustment to insulin dosing and/or timing. The more data I have on that food’s impact on my blood sugars, the more likely I’m able to stay in range when eating it in the future.”


The bottom line


Having diabetes doesn’t prevent you from enjoying sushi or any other food you’re interested in trying. However, it does require you to make wise choices, keeping the basic principles of healthy eating in mind – limit foods high in sugar, saturated fat, and salt, and be careful about when and how many carbohydrates you eat.

Micronutrient Deficiencies in Type 2 Diabetes and Their Impact on Health

April 10, 2025
Type 2 diabetes, a condition marked by chronically high blood sugar levels, is a leading driver of metabolic disease in America. While conventional medical advice recommends taking medications to control blood sugar levels, this is only a temporary measure at best.  Diabetes is compounded by several factors, and recent research notes that nutritional deficiencies is a commonly overlooked aspect, and that when these deficiencies are addressed, managing and controlling this disease becomes easier.

Diabetes and Telehealth: The Pros and Cons

March 24, 2025
Telemedicine can make diabetes care less expensive and easier to access, but it may not always be a suitable replacement for an in-person visit. Learn what happens during a telehealth visit and see if you could benefit from using telemedicine for your diabetes care. The pandemic upended a lot about life as we knew it. Notably, it was responsible for a 63-fold increase in telehealth visits . For people managing diabetes, however, having a doctor visit over video brings up a host of questions and potential issues. How can a doctor properly check my eyes and feet through a computer screen? Will telehealth replace in-person discussions about my blood sugar? Will I get the same level of care through a computer? According to a 2022 article in American Family Physician , telehealth is promising for diabetes treatment and has been shown to help improve glucose management. In a separate analysis of glucose data from people with type 2 diabetes, people who received remote monitoring of their glucose levels saw significant improvements in A1C over a period of three months. That being said, no study or physician is implying that telehealth fully replaces in-person medical care for diabetes. Here’s what to consider and who might be the best candidates for telediabetes care. What happens during a diabetes telehealth visit? Telediabetes care involves two types of interactions. One is a video meeting with a physician or care team to discuss challenges and potential solutions. During this type of visit, the healthcare provider can see some physical signs or changes, such as rashes or wounds. The second type of interaction is virtual monitoring of glucose levels through a monitoring device that sends data to the care provider. The provider might also follow up with a video call to discuss the data. “Many of the things that are important for diabetes care – blood glucose data review, medication review, insulin teaching – can all happen over video,” said Dr. Varsha Vimalananda, an endocrinologist and associate professor of medicine at Boston University. “CGM data can be uploaded and reviewed remotely, which is also very helpful.” Different providers use different video platforms for telehealth appointments, but most will look and function much like a Zoom call. The benefits of telehealth in diabetes care Not all elements of diabetes care are best suited for telehealth, but many lend themselves naturally to the conversation and convenience that an electronic visit facilitates. For type 2 diabetes in particular, telehealth has been shown to be more effective than in-person care at helping people manage their condition. One reason for the improved outcomes is simply better access to care. Dr. Keta Pandit, an endocrinologist at Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology in Austin, Texas, says continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), along with telehealth options, have changed the landscape of diabetes care. “One of the benefits of being able to offer telemedicine to our patient population is that it has increased the access to care, especially with any ongoing illnesses, hospitalizations, COVID, post-COVID, or any other situations when patients notice their glucose levels are going out of their standard range. Patients often contact us for these types of situations, and we can quickly get them seen via telemedicine to make adjustments to their diabetes medications,” she says. “While this was still an option prior to telemedicine days, the opportunity to see their provider on short notice, not having to worry about transportation, and not having to put in advance notice to take time off of work to travel to the doctor’s office, are some of the ways access to care has increased.” Pandit says this is particularly true for older patients who require frequent visits and women who are pregnant, as well as those who need to optimize their glucose levels before and after surgery. Jasmine Meidas, 51, of Cleveland, Ohio, is one such patient. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 15 years ago. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was much more comfortable with telehealth than going into my endocrinologist’s office, which is in a hospital. I still am,” she says. Meidas has a one-hour telehealth visit every three months. “They can order blood work to be taken locally, [and] we review [the results] together. We also review food choices, lifestyle challenges, stressors, and more. We set action steps and goals for the next 90 days,” she says. Meidas periodically sees her endocrinologist in person as well. At Vimalananda’s clinic in Boston, specific groups are making great strides with telehealth options. “Veterans, mostly,” she says. “I have a few [Veteran patients] who have severe [post-traumatic stress disorder]. Driving out to the clinic, dealing with traffic, and navigating the hospital are all things that cause a lot of distress. It’s been a game-changer for them to be able to have the visit from home.” When is telehealth not the best option? “If you have diabetes, please remove your socks and shoes.” This type of sign is frequently displayed in doctors’ offices. How would a foot exam work in telehealth? This is a real concern for people with diabetes, as up to 15% of patients will have a foot ulcer in their lifetime. Pandit and other experts acknowledge the limitations telehealth can have. “The medical team [must depend] on the patient [to provide] data and limited access to other parameters that are needed, including blood pressure measurements or foot examinations. When visits are conducted via telemedicine…care is not as comprehensive,” says Pandit. “There are times when the telemedicine model may pose risks. The limitation is clearly noted in visits with patients who are not technologically savvy, may have hearing issues, or [have] poor [internet] connection at the time of the visit.” Telehealth can also give health care providers a direct view into the home environment, which may result in a patient’s hesitancy to share openly — with family members potentially nearby — and impede the building of relationships and rapport. For these reasons, Pandit recommends that at least every other visit be conducted in person.

How To Make Sure You Receive Critical Blood Sugar Alerts

March 4, 2025
Key takeaways The FDA has issued a warning to users of continuous glucose monitors after reports of missed urgent blood sugar alarms on smartphones. Free apps can act as a backup for CGM alerts on your phone. A secondary alert system, like a CGM receiver or the SugarPixel standalone display, can ensure critical alerts are noticed. The FDA recently issued a safety notice after receiving reports from CGM users who missed critical low and high blood sugar alerts on their smartphones. Some of the causes for the missed alerts included: changes to phone settings, operating system upgrades, and using Bluetooth accessories. The safety warning coincided with my own experience. Following an update to my smartphone, I missed two critical low blood sugar alerts during the night. After missing those notices, I realized that I could back up my CGM alarms the same way I back up photos on my phone or laptop's hard drive. I then went about researching and testing other backup options, including these apps and devices I now use to make sure alarms are heard consistently, especially at night.

Tips for Dining Out With Diabetes on Valentine’s Day

February 12, 2025
Marcia Kadanoff, who lives with type 2 diabetes, shares her top five tips for enjoying a Valentine’s Day meal out. Pink and red hearts everywhere, overpriced dinners, wondering if you’ll have a date (or if you got your partner an appropriate gift) – ah, the joys of Valentine’s Day. I’m stressed just thinking about it. As a person with diabetes, my stress may be a bit different than general Valentine’s Day anxiety. By this point, my spouse knows enough not to get me chocolates, my biggest landmine food. But the hard thing for Valentine's Day or any other romantic occasion is getting a reservation at the right kind of restaurant and – as always when living with diabetes – planning out my meal. Special occasion meals take special skills to navigate. The good news is that there are definitely strategies that can help make a romantic dinner somewhere special enjoyable without diabetes taking center stage. Where I live – the San Francisco Bay Area – many restaurants have Valentine’s Day dinner specials that consist of three to five courses. There’s nothing wrong with eating a multi-course meal, but it does make diabetes management more difficult. From bread to creamy soups and crouton-laden salads to heavy entrées to a dessert that’s potentially cake-filled, multi-course meals can quickly add up to a large amount of carbohydrates, which is a major driver of high blood sugars. The reality is that even if I choose the “healthier” set menu for a celebratory multi-course meal, I still make a point to think about what each portion is bringing (quite literally) to the table. Here are my best tips for navigating a Valentine's Day dinner out.

Pro Tips for Exercising With Diabetes

February 5, 2025
Figuring out when and how to exercise can be one of the most difficult parts of living with diabetes. Hear from experts who discuss the benefits and share strategies for safely exercising. Having diabetes doesn’t mean you have to let go of the things you love doing, which may include playing sports. Exercise is an essential part of diabetes management, leading to improved weight management, reduction in cardiovascular disease risk factors, and great mental health benefits. Experts like Dr. Lori Laffel, chief of the pediatric, adolescent and young adult section at Joslin Diabetes Center, discussed the benefits and strategies for safely exercising with diabetes. Laffel pointed to the ADA’s Standards of Care, which recommend adults get 150-300 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous exercise and youth get 420 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous exercise. But even with all of the evidence pointing to its benefits, managing exercise can be one of the most difficult parts of living with diabetes. There are multiple challenges to consider, such as abnormal insulin delivery and glucagon physiology, how stress hormones affect blood glucose, hydration, and more. The good news is that you can still stay active with diabetes and engage in the sports you love. Famous athletes who have diabetes include five-time Olympic gold medalist Gary Wayne Hall Jr., recent Super Bowl champion Noah Gray, and the Women’s National Basketball Association’s 2022 third overall pick Lauren Cox. Exercising just might mean a little more planning on your part. This includes paying special attention to the type of physical activity you’re doing, carb intake, and your insulin regimen, said Laffel. How does exercise impact blood sugar? It’s still difficult to know the degree to which exercise affects your blood glucose levels. According to Michael Riddell, professor of kinesiology and health sciences at York University, an optimal glycemic range is “unclear and very individualized for the athlete with diabetes.” Factors that influence one’s glucose response to exercise include the type of activity, time of day, whether you’ve recently taken insulin, what food was recently consumed, stress, sleep, and more. Athletes who compete may want to consider how their levels vary between training days versus competitions. While it might not always be doable in practice, Riddell recommends a time in range of 70% during training and 75% on competition days – while paying special attention to minimizing hypoglycemia to less than 1%. For competitive athletes, other important things to manage include sleep, meals, basal/bolus insulin, hydration, and workout schedules. The type, duration, and intensity of exercise are main factors that influence glucose response. Different forms of physical activity cause different glycemic trends that ultimately affect how you respond to diabetes management. For example, endurance activities (like walking, jogging, and cycling) tend to reduce glucose levels, whereas high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training tend to vary more so. Laffel said that if you are engaging in intense exercise, know it can cause hyperglycemia and may increase your insulin needs during recovery time. The amount of carbs you should eat to maintain your desired glucose levels will depend on the intensity of your exercise. Lower-intensity exercise typically means more carbs and less insulin needed and vice versa for higher-intensity exercise, explained Riddell. For context, about 50% of recreational athletes with type 1 diabetes prefer training and sometimes competing with a moderately low (100-200 grams per day), low (40-99 grams per day), or very low (<40 grams per day) carb diet. Helpful guidelines and tech for exercise Activity monitors and devices can significantly help with diabetes management while exercising. Connected pens and insulin pumps provide timely dosage; continuous glucose monitors (CGM) let you follow trends to guide your insulin dosing and carb intake; and automated insulin delivery (AID) can protect you from hypoglycemia and possible hyperglycemia. Laffel provided a few basic guidelines if you’re engaging in aerobic exercise for more than 40 minutes. If you’re on multiple daily injections (MDI) or an open-loop pump, consider the following insulin adjustments: For those on MDI, start with a 20% reduction in basal insulin dose. For people on insulin pump therapy, reduce basal rate by about 50% (as a starting point) 1-2 hours before, during, and about one hour after exercise. Reduce bolus insulin by 50% for meals or snacks two hours before and up to two hours after exercise. At bedtime (or 7-11 hours following afternoon exercise) reduce your basal rate by 20% for up to six hours. If you are engaging in unplanned aerobic exercise, eat a few extra carbs. Use a CGM or monitor to check glucose before, during, and after physical activity. According to Laffel, an overlooked but important part of exercising with diabetes is the cool-down period, which can be any sort of exercise that you consider easy, such as walking or a slow jog. Cooling down can reduce your risk of hyperglycemia after vigorous exercise. You should cool down for about 20 minutes. If your glucose levels remain high, you can consider conservative insulin correction (greater than 220 mg/dL). Ultimately, there are many ways you can tailor diabetes management to work for your exercise plan. You should discuss your exercise regime with your doctor, as everyone’s needs are individualized and dependent on their lifestyle.
