Hi Paul, welcome to the forum 🙂 Yes, I don't think there are any problems with taking supplements, although I can't recommend any personally as I do like oily fish. I usually get my quota from either salmon sandwiches or sardines on toast 🙂

Oh oily fish! Dear oily fish!
By far and away my favourite dish!
Infuse me with your Omega 3,
Please oily fish, come dine with me!

Oh, take away my chicken bhuna!
Replace it with a slab of tuna!
And though I love the taste of gammon,
I'd much prefer some Scottish salmon!

Imagine eating with every course
Some pilchards in tomato sauce!
If every herring could be mine,
Then life on Earth would be divine!

So, fill me up with oily fish!
Believe me, it’s my dearest wish!
My heart’s desire, where have you been?
Embrace me now, oh plump sardine!

The thing about tuna is that it has to be fresh tuna - tinned tuna doesn't contain the omega oils that fresh does, something to do with the tinning process. Tinned salmon is fine though!

Welcome Paul from a fellow T2.
I don't know anything about any kind of fish being good for any diabetics.

Yep, tuna is the exception.
'Dark fish', as in not white, is what has omega 3.
