How much sodium can a diabetic have?
My doctor recently told me I have pre-diabetes, and I'm trying to be more careful with my diet. I know about sugar, but I'm also worried about sodium. How much sodium can a diabetic safely have in a day?

My doctor told me, for diabetics, to aim for less than 2300 mg of sodium per day, but ideally even less, like 1500 mg, if you have high blood pressure too. I've been strictly following this for a year and it's made a big difference.

Diabetics ko namak kam khana chahiye. Doctor ne bola hai 1500-2300 mg se zyada nahi. Bahar ka khana avoid karo, usme bahut namak hota hai. Ghar ka bana khaana best hai.

As someone with high BP and diabetes, my doctor stressed keeping sodium below 1500 mg per day. It's crucial for managing both conditions. Regular checkups and carefully reading food labels have become a big part of my life.

This is something I always worry about too! I try to keep my sodium intake low, around 1500 mg, but it's tough with so many hidden salts. Does anyone else struggle with this, especially when eating outside food?

Beta, namak kam khaana toh sabke liye achha hai, par jinko sugar hai unke liye aur bhi zaroori. Jyada namak se BP badhta hai, aur sugar ke mareez ko uski bhi dikkat ho sakti hai. Ghar mein dhyan se namak daalo.
