Thank you for your question. It’s great that your mother is taking interest in a healthy diet. The seeds mentioned — pumpkin, chia, sunflower, watermelon, basil, and flax — are nutrient-dense and rich in fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants, which can actually benefit blood
sugar regulation when consumed in moderation.
However, here are some important points to consider for a diabetic:
✅ Oats are a good complex carb, but always choose unsweetened, plain oats.
✅ Milk contains natural sugar (lactose), so consider using unsweetened almond or soy milk for better blood sugar control.
✅ The seed mix is fine, but keep the portion to 1–2 tablespoons total per day to avoid excess calorie intake.
✅ Add a source of protein — like a boiled egg or a scoop of Greek yogurt — to slow down glucose absorption.
🚫 Avoid adding honey, jaggery, or sugary fruits (like bananas or mangoes) in this mix.
📌 Monitor blood sugar levels 1–2 hours after breakfast to see how this meal affects her personally.
Always consult a clinical dietitian or doctor before making long-term dietary changes, especially with
diabetes.
