salt cravings?

[Guest guest]

There is a relationship between salt and insulin. Salt deficiency keeps insulin

from entering the cells, and this may cause a build up of glucose in the blood

stream.Some medical conditions require salt restriction like congestive heart

failure. Salt adequacy is necessary for insulin and glucose to enter the cells

of the body. I now have salt cravings, and sometimes they are fierce. I am on

a salt restricted diet due to congestive heart failure. With my long history of

sugar adiction I often wonder if this is the cause of my salt cravings.

Do other diabetics have salt cravings like I do? Sipping a little pickle brine

usually satisfies my craving for a while.
