None: This is a good question and frequently asked. The real question is how much, not what. In moderation and as part of a balanced, diabetic friendly (watching carbs) diet, any fruit is ok. There are many good resources by the mayo clinic, johns hopkins and others that can provide much more detail.

High glycemic: High glycemic fruits should be avoided since they can spike your blood sugar. These are tropical fruits such as pineapples, mangos, papayas and melons (watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew).

2 fruits/day: A diabetic should not eat more than 2fruits/d ex: 1//2 banana, 4 oz of juice, 2 prunes, small boll of fruits ex strawberries, blueberries, each equal to 1 fruit.
