Hello.  I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes.  That diet alone is different, but it's not a sign of diabetes.  Frequent urination is, so if he's craving things because of the fluid in them, that could be a sign.  I would take him to your doctor and get a simple test to verify.  It might be, but it may just be that he really likes those fruits.  The test can ease your fears.  Good luck.
