How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can raise blood glucose levels and should be limited by people with diabetes, while its 0.59 g of salt per 100 g contributes modestly to sodium intake and is lower than typical salty snacks, but still requires monitoring for hypertension.
