Is jaggery also as harmful as sugar for diabetic patients?
Jaggary and sugar have the same composition,except that sugar is more refined.A diabetic has no choice but to avoid them.
Jaggery contains up to 50% sucrose, up to 20% invert sugars, up to 20% moisture, and the remainder made up of other insoluble matter, such as wood ash, proteins, and bagasse fibers. Jaggery is harmful for diabetic patients.

As long as you are diabetic all sweet things are to be avoided. Please read my experience with fruits when I was diabetic at: appropedia.org/Diabetes_mel...

Diabetes is a fundamental disorder. It is comparable with low voltage in an electric circuit. In both cases all connected subsystems will under-perform and will fail in due course. It will affect SEX life also, if diab is not contained. Diab impairs the glucose (SUGAR) & oxygen supply to ALL CELLS of the patient. You cannot compensate the resultant weakness with liquor, food or medicines.
A DIABETESE PATIENT (also known as A DIABETIC) need NOT starve. PROPER or APPROPRIATE food can be eaten EVEN FULL STOMACH THRICE DAILY! Try to understand diabetes & conquer it.
TAKING MEDICINES ALONE WILL NOT BRING DOWN BLOOD SUGAR ALWAYS. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR FOOD HABITS & LIFE STYLE ALSO TEMPORARILY TILL CURE.
I was diabetic from 2006; but NOT diabetic from 2009. I studied Diabetes thoroughly, because it was to solve MY problem.

Hi ,
how to manage type 1 diabetic?
Accepted procedure is to have an Insulin shot for each & every food intake. My suggestion is to try LWMDR; continuing existing medication is a part of LWMDR.
Please test the C-peptide & report here if you decide to follow LWMDR.
C peptide test is done, after looking at the report doctor says it is type 1
could you confirm if this is what you meant by 'LWMDR':-
'Modus operandi
In order to obtain initial conditions, get FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, Serum Insulin & C-peptide tests done before hand.
Facilitate required (optimum-NOT maximum) rest to pancreas by TOTALLY AVOIDING sweet intake; avoid fruits as well till getting CURED. Avoid Maida flour, softened with Alloxan as it destroys Beta cells of Pancreas.
Substitute break fast and dinner by long-wheat kanji (porridge/mash) with a pinch of salt as required and curries (hot/sour side dishes - with no sweet, no starchy vegetables). Continue lunch as it is (with restrictions on oil, fat, starchy vegetables like potato, tapioca etc & sweet). Take all the three meals stomach full. As body extracts micro medicine from LWM, intake is to be equispaced & voluminous; hence LWM swapped with staple part of breakfast & dinner.
Reduce food intake frequency by postponing &/or combining and filling the gaps with plain water, buttermilk, fresh lime juice without sugar, vegetable salads etc. Most of the root-vegetables are rich in starch. May eat or drink more if number of intakes is three (3) or less including refreshments (snacks, tea, coffee, cool drinks etc.) in a day. Reduce oil & fat intake.
Brisk, medium or at least normal walk preferably for an hour daily.
