No: It's still sugar so, no, you should not eat it if you have diabetes.

Watch blood sugar: Jaggery is an unrefined form of sugar. It contains minerals and stuff from the sugar cane or palm that it came from. However, it will probably raise your blood sugar more of less like other sweet/high carb stuff. In moderation, it can be used, but watch what it does to your sugars. Check your sugar after eating it and see for yourself.
