Key result
Eating foods low in salt was associated with a 74% higher odds of achieving target blood pressure (<130/80 mmHg) in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension (OR 1.74).

Odds Ratio: 1.74 (95% CI 1.25–2.41)
Absolute Event Rate: 56.88% vs 45.65%
p-value: p=≤0.05
In primary care patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension, self-reported low dietary salt intake and high medication adherence are significantly associated with achieving target blood pressure.

Low-salt intake association is hypothesis-generating; prospective trials needed before changing practice in T2D hypertension.
Putnam et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes and hypertension (n=570). Eating foods low in salt vs. Not eating foods low in salt was evaluated on Overall blood pressure at target (< 130/80 mmHg) (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.25-2.41, p=≤0.05). Eating foods low in salt was associated with a 74% higher odds of achieving target blood pressure (<130/80 mmHg) in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension (OR 1.74).
