The glycemic load of fruit varies tremendously. You can find undomesticated fruit in the wild that is high-sugar / high-GI, and domesticated fruit (engineered over 1000s of years) that isn't. Fiber, micronutrient and phytonutrient content also varies, but in the main, they all provide health benefits.

Sugar has deleterious effects but it will not in itself make you diabetic. https://www.health.harvard.edu/topics/diabetes#diabetes4 https://www.health.harvard.edu/topics/diabetes#diabetes4 , https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/features/diabetes-causes.html https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/features/diabetes-cause...
