This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review to evaluate the effect of sodium salt substitution on blood pressure in adults with diabetes.
Protocol for Cochrane review on salt substitution in diabetes leaves BP effects uncertain; extends evidence synthesis without changing practice.

The objectives are as follows: To evaluate the effect on blood pressure - measured as changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) using standardised measurement methods - of substituting sodium salt with other edible salts (e.g. potassium chloride, magnesium chloride) in people with diabetes mellitus.
