Diabetic patients can consume pumpkin seeds in small amounts when their blood sugar is well controlled, but they are not helpful in lowering blood sugar and should not be consumed in excess, as they contain close to about half of the oil. If diabetics consume too much pumpkin seeds, it will also be detrimental to the control of the disease. Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires long-term dietary control, with a low-salt, low-fat diet as much as possible. A diabetic diet means consuming small amounts or prohibiting foods that tend to cause blood sugar to rise, such as sugar-sweetened foods, such as candy, soda, cola, sugar-sweetened beverages, and various Chinese and Western desserts. Foods with high starch content should also be limited, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, rhizome, and especially various New Year foods, such as dumplings, mooncakes, and rice cakes. In addition to diet control, patients should do physical exercise and monitor blood glucose level regularly, and medication is needed if blood glucose is too high.
