Caveat: I'm not qualified to comment on diabetic guidelines.
Following the 1ml = 1g rule of thumb (which works fine for tonic water), then yes, the overall sugar content is <5%.
Fructose has a slower release rate than sucrose or glucose so your blood sugar spike post-consumption is smoother, this may be beneficial for a diabetic.
