Discussion: Is Salt Bad for diabetes patients suffering from hypertension?

From Healthline (March 2019) with my additions. There is no reason for people with diabetes to eat bland food! Most of the salt we consume does not come from home cooking but mainly from processed and industrialized food, which is forbidden for people with diabetes!

In the past few decades, salt has gained a bad reputation and has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and even stomach cancer. However, some evidence shows that salt may affect individuals differently and may not have as much of an impact on heart disease as once believed. The kidneys carefully regulate concentrations of sodium, and fluctuations lead to adverse side effects. Sodium is involved in muscle contractions, and sweat or fluid loss can contribute to athletes' muscle cramps. It also maintains nerve function and tightly regulates blood volume and pressure.

Low chloride levels can lead to respiratory acidosis, in which carbon dioxide builds up in the blood, causing the blood to become more acidic. Studies show that a low-salt diet may not decrease the general population's risk of heart disease or death, although some groups may respond to salt differently. Low salt intake may be associated with low blood sodium, increased blood triglycerides or cholesterol, and a higher risk of insulin resistance. Unsalted food is not tasty. Adding aromatic salt (Himalayan salt) and additional beneficial minerals in measured quantities is recommended.
