When it comes to fruits that are not recommended for diabetics, the web has countless of conflicting resources. One site says that eating mangoes and bananas is not good while another says that it is ok to eat them 2-3 times a day. On the other hand, this site specifically tells diabetics to stay away from dates, prunes, and watermelons.
Living with diabetes has taught me to eat in moderation. I still eat mangoes when they are in season but I limit my intake to just one slice a day. I am also fond of eating watermelons especially during the summer months. I don't eat sweets in the evening and this applies to eating sweet fruits, too. I guess it won't hurt to have other sweet fruits every now and then. At least, it is for me.
If you are a diabetic, it would be better to know what fruits make your blood glucose rise quickly and to avoid eating them especially when you know that your blood glucose level is high. When in doubt, avoid everything else except apples. Processed apples, of course, are not included.

I can totally relate. I have PCOS, and my doctor has advised me to eat a low glycemic index diet. But it's really hard to follow. There are times when I badly wanted to indulge with pastries and bread! I really need to eat more fruits instead. Sigh!
