Brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses added.– Carey Gregory ♦Nov 4, 2018 at 16:28

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients can eat sugar under specific conditions.
White and brown sugar are pretty much identical (from a "diabetic" viewpoint) and they respectively have a Glycemic Index of (+-10) 68 and 64 according to the Linus Pauling Institute.
So as a summary, no. Brown sugar affects the Blood Sugar level of a Diabetic patient similarly to white sugar.
