No, phenylalanine is entirely unrelated to Diabetes. Diabetes in its three forms is a metabolic disorder involving insulin, a hormone normally secreted in response to elevated blood sugars. Phenylalanine is an amino acid. Amino acids serve primarily as the building blocks of proteins, among other functions.
As an amino acid, phenylalanine has no direct impact on blood sugar and thus has no impact on secretion of insulin or the need for insulin. Of course, amino acids can be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis under certain physiological conditions, however this would not contribute to the development of diabetes, as it is a highly regulated response to low blood sugar. Type II diabetes can result from chronic elevation of blood sugars.

Is there anything bad in phenylalanine?
No, it is simply put on packages and soda cans because there is a specific disease that can harm people if they ingest it. The disease is phenylketonuria, or PKU. It is a genetic disorder that keeps your body from metabolizing phenylalanine, which is an amino acid. If you have PKU and eat too much phenylalanine, it will cause mental retardation. NutraSweet has phenylalanine in it, so they don't want PKU sufferers to use it for obvious reasons. So...phenylalanine is okay for you if you don't have PKU.
