    FYI, potassium supplements (at least the ones I have) only supply 3% of the RDA. :ohwell:

    That may be...I haven't looked at mine (or should I say, my husband's), I do know that they seem to work for me. I take hydrochlorizide and it can be depleting. An extra potassium supplement seems to do the trick. But, then again, it could all be between my ears...

    Being diabetic doesn't mean you can not get your potassium in. I am diabetic and I get anywhere from 3500 to 4700 daily (4700 is recommended amount). I eat 6 meals a day (3 main, and 3 snacks). I also only eat between 1200 to 1300 calories a day. I am also on a lower carb diet (Usually under 100 a day on carbs).

    My food diary is open so take a look. A good source for potassium is V8, I buy the low sodium and an 8oz glass has 900 potassium. also if you get enough potassium, it helps your body rid of extra sodium too.

    If you feel dizzy, you should make an appointment to see your gp.
