Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern regarding your health.
Jaggery cannot be given to the diabetic patient instead of sugar because it increases sugar level. So, it will be better to avoid it.
You can use sugar free globules instead of jiggery and sugar.
After doing all these, I hope you will get well sooner and please share your review about my answer on healthcare magic.
Take Care,
Thank You.
