I think the OP was talking about canned *stewed* tomatoes. My HEB no
salt added stewed tomatoes do have a bit of sugar in them, but the
ingredient is listed after tomatoes and tomato juice and right before
the dehydrated onion, etc. so I don't think there is all that much sugar
involved. My DH's blood glucose meter doesn't seem to mind it. I do
give him an accurate carb count based on the label.
