Did you know condiments can be sneaky sources of added sugar? When you’re supporting a loved one with Type 1 Diabetes, small swaps can make a big difference.

Over the years, our T1D family has been on the hunt for simple, effective condiments that support balanced blood sugar without sacrificing flavor. My family literally calls me the “Condiment Queen,” so I take this job seriously!

That’s why today, I’m sharing 3 simple low sugar condiments your entire T1D family can enjoy.

Swap #1: Mayo

Choose a full-fat mayo made with clean oils like avocado or olive oil. Skip versions made with super processed vegetable oils or hidden sugars which can cause inflammation throughout the body. Brands like Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods keep it simple and real—delicious and supportive!

Swap #2: Ketchup

Did you know most store-bought ketchups are packed with added sugar, and some even sneak in corn syrup!? Instead, go for a low-sugar version like Primal Kitchen. You’ll get the classic flavor—without the unexpected spike.

Bonus Tip: I personally use and love Primal Kitchen products in my own T1D family’s kitchen. If you want to try them too, you can use my code TYPE WON for a 10% discount at checkout!

Swap #3: Coconut Liquid Aminos

If your family loves sushi night, I’ve got your back with this flavorful swap! Traditional soy sauce often contains added sugar and high sodium, which can challenge steady blood sugars and overall wellness. Luckily, that is where coconut liquid aminos come into play!

Coconut liquid aminos are a tasty, soy-free alternative—made from the sap of coconut blossoms. They’re naturally lower in sodium and sugar, making them a gentler, more blood sugar-friendly choice for your T1D family.

Final Thoughts

Making thoughtful swaps like these is a powerful way to support steadier blood sugars—without giving up flavor or joy in the kitchen. These little changes truly add up over time!

So this week, I encourage you to take a peek in your pantry or fridge and try just one healthy condiment swap. Could you bring in a low sugar ketchup for those chicken nugget nights?

Or maybe swap your usual jelly for something a bit more blood sugar-supportive—like high-fat peanut butter on toast or a smear of chia seed jam made with real fruit.
