Add fruits like guava,papaya, musk melon as amid morning snack.
Avoid fried foods, pickles and packaged foods.
Her water and fluid intake should be 2 to 2.5 litres per day.
No sugar,artificial sweeteners, sweets and baked goods which add baking soda,butter and sugar.
30 mins walking per day atleast 5 times a week is necessary.

Since your mother has Type 2 Diabetes and high BP with fluctuating readings, the first step is a detailed consultation including 24-hour dietary recall, medication timing, lifestyle habits, and review of blood reports (HbA1c, fasting/PP sugars, lipid profile, kidney function, electrolytes).
Diet is planned to control sugar spikes and BP together, focusing on low-GI carbohydrates, adequate protein, limited salt, no refined sugar, regular meal timings, and portion control, along with specific food combinations and lifestyle corrections.
Along with diet, regular monitoring, medication adherence, stress management, light daily activity, and periodic follow-ups are essential; any persistent high readings should be discussed with the treating physician.

Diet plays an important role in helping manage type 2 diabetes and blood pressure. Here are some dietary recommendations you can follow:
-Follow the balanced plate method: fill half of the plate with fiber (green vegetable, soups, salads or stir fry); 1/4th plate with protein sources (dals, pulses, legumes, low fat paneer, soyabean, tofu, egg white, fish or lean chicken) and remaining 1/4th of your plate with preferably complex carbohydrates sources (brown rice, quinoa or dalia).
-Also try to consume greens first and then proceed to rest of the meal to help regulate blood glucose levels.
-Avoid adding extra table salt to foods and make food preparations in less oil and salt.
-You can use adjuncts such as amchur powder, lemon juice (1tsp) or kokum water (1tsp) to enhance the flavor of the dish instead of adding salt.
-Include fruits such as apples, pears, papaya and guava, avoid fruits including jackfruit, pineapple, custard apple and seasonal fruits such as mango, watermelon and strawberries.
-Avoid coconut water, sugarcane juice, packaged cold drinks, packaged food items, papads, pickles, farsaans and outside food consumption.
-Try to do physical activity (brisk walking, running, swimming or sport of your choice) for at least 30 - 45 minutes daily (5 - 6 days a week) after a consultation with a doctor.
-Make sure to have a consultation with a concerned medical professional regarding medication and dosage as well.
