  2. My mum was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Melitus around 7 years ago. It totally changed the way we lived our lives. We completely cut down on sugar and sugary foods. I drink my coffee without any sweetener in it. My mum and I then discovered that adding jaggery to coffee is equally tasty, but will far less Sucrose thus making it safe for those with sugar level problems. We have a few dates every day, and use it once in a while in making sweets at home.

Love to hear from you :)
