Sweet pickles?

Can anyone explain why we can't have Sweet Pickles? I love them and would like to have them as a snack.

Here is the nutritional info from my jar of sweet pickles. I can''t figure out why they are not ok....

I am Diabetic so I buy the sugar-free sweet pickles whenever I find them and they are even lower in sugar, calories, etc.

Regular dill pickles are around 300mg sodium per spear, so those are significantly lower. You could fit them in as a treat if you limit to a single portion.

Thank you. I thought that the sodium was the problem but wasn't sure. The sugar-free sweet pickles have less salt so I try to find them.
