How does the sugar and salt content of this tart affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 4.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the tart can raise blood glucose and should be eaten sparingly by diabetics, while its low salt level of 0.87 g poses relatively little risk for hypertension.

Is the wheat flour in this tart a concern for consumers with gluten intolerance?
