Wow Kaz, these are some great revelations for your first few days of the Libre!
I have only this week been reading some stuff by Eric Berg (he has some interesting you tube vids if you want to check him out) on Adrenal Exhaustion, which is really quite common, and ways to treat it, including dietary changes that help with potassium, and so on.
Fascinating stuff. I need more info before I make any opinionated pontifications though! lol.
At the mo, I am having a bash at his liver support eating programme (more info to follow, if it has any benefit...) and he does a similar programme for Adrenal gland support.
Personally, if I don't supplement potassium and magnesium plus extra salt on food then I am plagued by muscle weakness, trembles, cramps and all sorts. Worse in the summer.
My BP was always on the low side of normal until last year when it hiked into needing meds - but that is typical for someone with PCOS (the raised BP at this age). Should monitor it more closely, esp since I have the monitor sitting beside my armchair. lol
