[QUOTE="Southport GP, post: 854515, member: 74036"] [B]I'm coming to realize there is a possible link between salt and insulin[/B]. Its possible that insulin causes salt retention which may contribute to high blood pressure -this could help explain why someone going on the low carb diet passes so much urine in the first few days. The lower insulin levels could lead to the kidneys loosing more salt and this could in turn lead to fluid loss. For some folk the loss of salt may lead to muscle cramps. If I were re-writing my diet sheet I probably should mention that if folk get muscle cramps its just possible they need a bit more salt ? [B]Have many of you found this ?? [/B] Update re low carbs and the liver/type two diabetes; at last a probable publication date of September -hopefully this year! [/QUOTE]
