Sweetener is better......

You can use, if you are diabetic.

I use it since from 5 years.

My mum use it since 1986.

Avoid both if possible, but if one chooses to, then it's better to use Stevia. It's a plant extract.

None of them. But I am using sweetener since 3-4 months.

I use a little palm jaggery for sweetening tea or coffee or mithais. It’s natural and not too high on the GLycemic Index.

Fruit sugar known as fructose is the right solution. For this purpose the person will have to eat Sweet fruits. Fruit sugar does not not harm the diabetic person anytime.

Sucrose, predominantly made from sugarcane should not be eaten. Sweetner unless it has natural origin like stevia is useful.

Artificial or Man made sweetner like Sodium Saccharine is harmful.
