Patient's question:
After giving birth to my second child, I developed diabetes. Today, while eating dinner outside, I had some watermelon seeds. I heard that people with diabetes cannot eat watermelon seeds. Can diabetics eat watermelon seeds?Doctor's answer:
The fat content in watermelon seeds is relatively high, and their salt content is also very high. It is not recommended for diabetics to consume them excessively, but eating them occasionally will never cause significant interference to the body. Diabetics should avoid high-fat, high-oil, and high-sugar foods in their daily diet, such as various pastries, nuts, biscuits, cakes, fried foods, and puffed foods. Instead, they can consume more green vegetables rich in fiber.
