Thank you for the Kale Chip recipe! I am going to try this and instead of using salt, I am going to try it with a popcorn seasoning instead. I have a bottle in front of me for Nacho Cheddar and it says 0 carbs (for 1/4 teaspoon serving = 65mg sodium). It already contains salt for that salty crave, but my blood vessels (BP) will probably appreciate me leaving the salt by itself off.

Sorry to hear you’re confused Katherine – nutrition can be confusing. Unfortunately we can’t offer direct personal advice because we don’t know your history. But, if you can’t get your bloods down it’s often due to – too many or the wrong type of carbohydrates in your diet, lack of exercise, stress, sleep, hormones or a variety of those factors. Of course there may be other factors too but often those are the main ones.
Research shows that lowering carbohydrates in the diet is very effective for bringing levels down because the amount of carbohydrate and the type of carbohydrate is what influences blood sugar levels the most. Since you say your levels go up with the slightest thing you eat, then perhaps it could be the types of foods you’re eating and making changes in a different direction could be worth exploring. Don’t give up. But, if I were you I’d tell your specialist it is not working so you need other options, or seek out another doctor who might offer some alternative advice.
