Yesterday I was awoken by the worst ever leg cramps. Could see the muscle spasming and contorting. Gross. Thought I was a goner. The leg was sore all day after it. Today I am waiting for the amazon fairies to bring a bottle of magnesium with potassium.

Yesterday I had:

B: a glass of Supergreens drink and an avocado

D: chilli made with veeg mince, veg and mixed beans. Guacamole and a few Doritos

Drank 2l of tonic water and had a bath in Epsom salts

In the meantime maybe Lo Salt would help? Pretty sure it contains potassium...(chloride) along with the normal salt (sodium chloride) but maybe your diet just needs more salt per se? My brother had to take salt tablets on foreign hols h drink plenty of he got dehydrated & cramps. Caveat .. re salt if on BP meds

Tesco have just launched their own Gary range. It is made by Bute so should be like the Sainsbury's range. It is reported that the jalapeno and chilli flavour is really good. It's a bit of a trek to the big Tesco though.

Cheers, SJ. I don't know what to do for the best tbh. We swapped to Himalayan pink salt in the house a few weeks ago and it is supposed to be good. Have started on potassium and magnesium supplements now. Seeing the hypertension doc in a couple of weeks so not on any meds (yet). Feeling a bit more human today, but I think that is due to getting a decent sleep.

Hi @Avocado Sevenfold I'm glad you're feeling a little better.



Today:

B: Muesli

L: Chicken slice (quorn really) with salad sandwich. Popcorn.

D: LM sweet potato kiev with baked potato and peas. Carb overload, so perhaps I overdid the insulin; hence the hypo? (More likely just a random T3c thing.)

No snacks other than an unplanned supper...

I've just had a hypo- worst time, just before bedtime, but it wasn't too bad. Now eating a hot cross bun: it was either that or eat about six of my usual oat cakes -> close call! I'm sure @Kat100 will forgive me for not waiting until Good Friday!
