Sounds great but for diabetics the sugar content might be a concern.

Would have to substitute the canned papaya and its juice for something else.

How about just using a fresh papaya or a portion thereof?

Whats so redeeming about canned papaya?

Fruits and vegetables are especially important sources of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients like carotenoids and flavonoids. Vitamins and phytonutrients are especially susceptible to degradation from heat. Canning of fruits and vegetables a fairly high-risk process in terms of nourishment.

Because canning most often involves high heat, it can rob foods of vast amounts of nutrients. For example, in the process of canning mixed vegetables, the vitamin C loss can be as high as 67%. During the canning of fruit, up to 70% of the original folic acid can be lost.
