I'm diabetic too. I did use sugar in mine, but about 1/3 the amount called
for in my recipe for extra light syrup. This was enough to keep them from
going soft or funny or whatever happens to them without the sugar. Used
very little sugar in my applesauce too. I was able to eat both, in limited
amounts of course. Didn't pressure can them.
