Cocktail Sauce with Type 2 Diabetes

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Cocktail Sauce is classified as conditionally suitable for Type 2 Diabetes based on current dietary assessments. Dips and sauces vary greatly in composition – from high in salt to high in fat – and can affect the overall nutritional quality of a meal. With type 2 diabetes, particular attention is paid to carbohydrates and their effect on blood sugar – both the quantity and type of carbohydrates are considered. The reasoning given is: sugar content varies by product; homemade variants with less sugar possible. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
