Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="ButtterflyLady" data-source="post: 952274" data-attributes="member: 43498">The safe blood pressure level for diabetics is under 130/80 so I suggest you ask your doctor for a 24 hour test regardless of whether you increase your salt intake.  Home BG monitors are not as accurate as the ones the doctors use, and even at home, stress can increase BP.  That's why the 24 hour test is more reliable.Salt supplementation was recently discussed here so you might be able to find the answer by searching the forum.  People added salt to relieve leg cramps.I have read that 6g is considered the upper limit for people trying to reduce their salt intake.  I don't know how much salt is in a broth cube but that packet should say. Sorry I can't be of more help.</blockquote>
