According to the USDA new guidelines, they can be done without sugar. You can use plain water, or I used white grape juice cut with water. I just added water to the juice until it tasted good to me. I don't like super sweet stuff.

During the WW2, with sugar (and meats, etc. ) rationed and in short supply, my Grandma used to can peaches with water only, and added a very few whole cloves to them to keep them from tasting flat. When opened she would find enough sugar or honey to make them into cobblers or pies.
That's what I advise my diabetic daughters to do. Then they can add Stevia to the opened fruit.
