How do the sugar and salt levels in this mayonnaise affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The product contains only 1.2 g of sugar per 100 g, so it adds little extra glucose, but it provides 1.5 g of salt per 100 g, which can contribute to sodium intake and may need to be limited by people managing blood pressure.
