Stevia use

Question

Stevia use

Asked for Female, 24 Years

My mother is a diabetic. Although, we take every measure to control intake of sugar and have taken also but in case of tea , we r helpless, so we put little Jaggery power in her tea. But I know this is also equally harmful , earlier we used sugar free satches in her tea but now after knowing it's harmful effects we stopped using that also. I have heard a lot about stevia as a better alternative to sugar. But here I am doubtful also. So ,plz tell can we use stevia in her tea?
