There is small amount of sugar in this recipe. I haven’t used sugar substitutes for this recipe, but they might work. My relationship with sugar is different than others: If I really want something and it has sugar in it, then I have it in moderation.
In fact, the doctor who diagnosed me with diabetes said that completely cutting out sugar with type 2 diabetes may not the best idea because it may not be sustainable. She recounted how her husband, an avid drinker of a 12 pack of mountain dew cans every day, tried to completely cut it out. After two weeks, he went back to drinking 24 mountain dew cans a day.
My philosophy is essentially this: when you cook for yourself, you know what to expect from your food. You know what you put in it and 1 tablespoon of sugar isn’t all that much compared to store-bought tartar sauce.
That being said, if you need to avoid sugar, you can try using a sugar substitute. I don’t know how it will be.
