The more processed ingredients, the higher the sodium will soar.
i.e. items that are bagged, boxed, canned, bottled, etc. ... pre-mades!

I'd like to add, before his surprise surgery, he had very low blood pressure, and low chlosterol. No symptons to indicate a problem. Found it during a yearly check up with his Cardiologist. Good luck, and bless you.

check out the recipes at diabetic living.com and at sparkpeople.com!
pretty much you have to learn to cook everything yourself. NO prepared foods, no heavy starches, REAL sugar (in moderation) instead of artificial sweeteners, it sounds daunting, but it is really great...OH and grow you some herbs in the kitchen/living room...nothing is better than a snip of fresh herbage on your dinner!

Thanks for the hints and help. I have never been a big user of salt so watching my sodium is not a big thing for me. And having been a diabetic for 11 years now I am pretty used to watching my sugar intake too. My husband and I have been Mrs. Dash users for about 15 years now. I am always looking for new recipes to fit our eating habits now. It is amazing what you can use to spice up a meal without using the salt shaker!!! Thanks again to all of you.
