Hubby and I are both diabetic. Buy Splenda. (Knock-off varieties of the same product are better, if they're on your grocery shelf. Hubby prefers those over Splenda for adding sweetener to his coffee because it melts faster.) It's as sweet as sugar without the problems of sugar and measures just like sugar.
The only thing it can't do that sugar does is caramelize.

Not only do I make all my pies without sugar, I also make "pie crust art," (and blame it on my teddy bear. lol)
I tried stevia but didn't like it so I stick to splenda or something. They make sugar free blueberry pies but the issue is that it isn't sweet even when you put splenda in it, the crust also has no flavor what so ever. Regular honey is actually very high in glucose which raises blood sugar just like normal sugar and then of course carbs while not as bad as sugar turns into sugar.
Sugar free stuff is the best alternative for us diabetics but aspartame is the main thing in sugar free stuff and supposively it is a very dangerous thing but I have been taking in that stuff for years and have yet to find it dangerous

This diabetic blue berry pie recipe sounds simple. https://extension.illinois.edu/diabetesrecipes/recipe.cfm?recipe=Blueberry Pie Filling

I thought I married a guy without a sweet tooth. And then I made some pumpkin muffins but accidentally doubled the amount of Splenda. (Didn't feel like making a double batch, so I let it go and kept making them.) He confessed it was the first time he truly loved the pumpkin muffins.
So, moral of the story: If it ain't sweet enough, add more Splenda until it is. lol
And, don't worry about the crust not being sweet. It's not supposed to be. That's the beauty of pie -- some sweet and some not-sweet. The crust just holds the filling in. Kind of the same reason most folks add jam to their biscuits or rolls -- it's not sweet without the jam, but it's easier to eat it that way. (I've tried eating jam right out of the jar. Messy on the fingers.
)
Also, diabetic to diabetic -- watch out for sugar-free chocolate candy. (Chocolate covered turtles, and bite size chocolate candy bars. Sugar-free Wuerthers chocolate chewies are safe and taste like Tootsie Rolls. Yumyum!) It's often made from sweetened oils, which does terrible things later to the gut. (We used to get sick in the afternoon on Easter. lol)
