Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Type 2 diabetes mellitus.2. Hypertension (blood pressure >140/90 or taking antihypertensive therapy).3. Albumin excretion rate > 10 µg/min (median of three consecutive measurements).4. Urinary sodium excretion either > 200 mmole/24 hr on two out of three consecutive occasions (habitual high dietary sodium intake) or < 100 mmole/24 hr on two out of three consecutive occasions (habitual low dietary sodium intake). It is proposed to study 16 patients with habitual high dietary sodium intake and 16 patients with habitual low dietary sodium intake matched for BMI. Matching for BMI will be performed because of the documented association between total caloric intake and urinary sodium excretion in the DASH study.185. Caucasian ethnicity.
