sweeteners available are aspartame and sucralose, both are good and safe when used in small quantity. Fruits that can be consumed are apple, pear, water melon, papaya, orange, sweet lime, pomogranate and guava. But fruits should be taken only your sugar levels are in good control.

I would not recommend sweetners. They are artificial in nature and can play havoc with your hormones. Try to sweeten beverages with natural sweetners like cardamom mint other herbs. If taken in moderation and if your diet is balanced and planned well then as a snack (as a mid meal) any fruit is allowed.
