The important issue for any diabetic is to get your blood glukose and insulin to fit to each other. It is not a question of sugar/not sugar so much as it is a qusiton of total calory intake. Sugars contain approximately 4 calories per gram whereas fat contains 9 and protein 4. Eat a well balanced diet adhering to the food pyamid - and keep your caloric intake under control. That is your best bet.
All of them.
Added sugars, concentrated sugars (dried fruit), "high glycemic index" fruits/foods
Sugar is sugar. You don’t give me enough information here to know what this question is aiming for. Are we talking about type 1 or type 2 diabetes, for example. The total diet matters and the amount of sugar matters.
