answer
While seafood is not known to lower blood glucose (sugar) levels, it is true that foods that take time to eat, such as artichokes or shellfish, can help you eat less quickly and therefore feel full faster.

Keep in mind, too, that a single food eaten will impact blood glucose levels differently than a combination of foods eaten in an entire meal. Changes in blood glucose levels will also depend on the pre-meal blood glucose level, the degree of insulin resistance, level of fitness, as well as the various amounts of carbohydrate, protein and fats in the meal.
