What are the effects of moderate sodium restriction on Type II diabetes patients?
Studies have shown that moderate sodium restriction can enhance the effects of losartan in Type II diabetes patients, as well as improve insulin sensitivity. Sodium restriction can also induce relative hyperfiltration in normotensive, normoalbuminuric Type I diabetes patients, as well as reduce proteinuria and blood pressure. Additionally, sodium sensitivity has been observed in Type II diabetic patients, which can appear before hypertension.
