[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2178219, member: 468714"] My understanding of it is that insulin influences a receptor on the surface of certain kidney cells (think of the receptor as a lock in a door that insulin helps to unlock) and that the more insulin in the blood in this case the that lock is opened and the less salt that can escape into the urine. More salt retained in the blood, the higher the Blood pressure. With low carb diet there is less insulin secreted or needs injecting so the more unlocked the receptor is and the more salt passes into the urine leading to lower BP. See youtube videos of Dr Steven Phinney, particularly Nutritional ketosis and Keto-Adaption. [/QUOTE]
