I'm cooking for someone who has diabetes. Last time I cooked for her I make homemade mayonnaise but this time I don't have time for that. I'm skipping the extra treat I was hoping to send along but would love to know for next time if there is a brand of mayonnaise that does not have sugar, or starch if possible.
Thanks in advance!

thomy mayo. expensive but delicious.
also, kewpie mayo. never tasted that but it seems trendy as well. it also has 1 gram of carbs out of 100 grams per serving. negligible but technically not carb free.

Regular Hellman's mayonnaise. In general, if you don't want sugar added, do not buy any "lite" variety. They add extra sugar to conceal lack of taste .

I see that Walmart has Duke's mayonnaise with an OU and no sugar, or starch as I can tell. Has anyone tried it and knows how it tastes? Maybe I can add it to my next online order.

Either Whole Foods or Trader Joe has one -- I don't remember which, but I think it was TJ.

Using a stick blender you can make your own in about the same amount of time it took you to write this post and to check the replies.
Prep time 1-2 minutes, blending time  0 secs, cleanup time 2-3 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cooked yolk
1 Tbsp white wine or balsamic vinegar
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Pinch of salt
Good squirt of mustard
Cup of oil
Put all the ingredients in a plastic tub - the one you later keep the mayonnaise in - with oil going in last. Insert the blender all the way down and pulse for about 5-7 seconds, then slowly lift and blend everything in.

I'm a Type 2 diabetic. I'm sure that other people have been given other guidelines, but mine are that I should try to limit carbs at any meal to under 35 g.
My Hellemans low fat mayo (green lid) has 2 g of carbs per tablespoon, and less than 1 g of sugar. Unless you're drowning something in mayo, that should be fine. (By way of comparison, broccoli has 4 g carbs per serving, and Brussels sprouts have 5.)
There's no such thing as carb-free mayo, BTW, because eggs have .6 g carbs per egg.

If I tell her I'm cooking everything without a drop of added sugar or added starch, then that is what I do. She needs to decide if she can have the extra item I've made with apple or butternut squash (wouldn't send it in the main dishes she's expecting) but I can't add a sprinkle of sugar anywhere or cross contaminate with spoons. I'd rather skip the mayo, as I did this time, and wait to make her something with that once I have something suitable on hand or have time to make my own like I did for her last time.
As someone who has had serious food restrictions, I would not want anyone else to make their own cheshbonos on my behalf if they offered to cook per my restrictions.
I appreciate you posting your experience though
