No, you are a diabetic. Jaggery also contained sucrose about 50%. Why are you feeling bad to give up sweet in the tea. Those who are real admirer of tea do not add sugar into it. To prevent complications of diabetes you need to control your blood sugar strictly. Your participation is very important for your treatment to be effective. You should do exercise, aerobics like brisk walking. Shed off extra kilograms, you are overweight, bring it down to 70 kg, that is your target weight. Your food - you should stop sweet, sugar, sweet drinks, ice creams, potato, oily and fried food totally. No to artificial sweeteners also. Take high fibre diet, veges. Reduce fat containing foods to minimum. Normal protein - if you are non-vegetarian, no read meat, occasionally chicken, fish is good for you otherwise, if vegetarian, milk, soybeans, beans, nuts, pulse and legumes, green leafy vegetables contains more protein. Butter, cheese are bad for you as it contains high fat. So, start from the moment you read it. You can ask question in my private question part.
