The effects of a high-sodium diet were exacerbated by poor blood sugar control. ‘To reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, it is important for people who have Type 2 diabetes to improve their blood sugar control as well as watch their diet,’ Horikawa added. The study appeared in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. (Read: How to reduce salt intake and control your BP)
