Brief summary

Despite the recognised association between salt intake and blood pressure, there have been no studies documenting salt consumption in patients with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes may not comply with the recommended guidelines for sodium intake.

Interventions

Measurement of 24 hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion. Patients were given instructions on how to complete 24 hour urine collections. Plastic urine bottles were supplied. Urine specimens were analysed soon after the collection at a central laboratory. The specimens were collected between 2000- 2008
