Should Low Sodium Level Be Of Concern In A Diabetic Patient?
Yes. I recently, had a nuclear stress test done and the report noted, there is flat T-wavesdiffusely. I already have CAD and I am a diabetic also with other health problems. I have noticed on my past and present bloodwork, I have low potassium. No one, seems to be concerned. Should I?
