If he's only eating apple, he's not getting a proper diet which could be helping the diarrhea. Is he dehydrated? (does his not move back in to place after a second or two on him if you move it)
If he is a picky eater, try blending things up. That way, he smells and tastes the apple in there, but is getting other nutrients as well.
My advice is to avoid acidic foods right now too, they can cause diarrhea.
Does he have a staple diet, if not; the introduction of a good staple might help.

I agree he needs to be put on a staple diet, apple is not sufficient. You can find list of staple diets or recommended diets on this site and also by google search. If he is not feeling well and having the number two problem, have you tried giving him some pedialite? What did the vet say? I hope he starts felling better soon. Is he a single glider? Is he depressed?

i have try blending fruits together. he doesn't wanna touch it at all. ANY RECOMMEND? his a single glider. But every night I'll play with him for 1 or 2 hours and his very active. And now im using hand force to let him take those medic and HPW. Everyday i hand force him to drink glucose with water too. The vet say wait for 1 week and see do he still have watery pop. but im getting scare.

I'm so sorry for your loss! The same thing happened to my first sugar glider Oatmeal, same exact thing. She stopped eating, and got really sick, with diarrhea. Prayers to you and your lost angel.
