Ask the people at the deli if they can show you the nutritional label for the ham (they all have them). Most processed meats have some sugars in them, but usually they are very low giving a carb count of roughly 1 gram per ounce (often less, but I round up just to be safe), much like cheese. For the most part, you are best off not eating a lot of processed or smoked meats, mostly because of the nitrates but also because many of them are also very high in sodium. High sodium = water retention for most folks.
I'm not saying don't ever eat them, but don't make them your main protein source.
