Potassium Chloride vs Potassium Gluconate.
I am 3 years out from my Standard DS. For about 16 months now I have been taking high doses of prescription Potassium Chloride. My numbers have risen very slowly. For various reasons I would like to switch to an over the counter Potassium. The dosage that I find in the potassium chloride seems very low compared to what I have been taking. Does anyone know how Potassium Gluconate compares to the Chloride? I have no idea how much I should take of the over the counters. I will talk to my doctor about it but he has been insisting on high doses of the extended release which really don't work well for us. I think my numbers might actually improve faster if I was on a regular formula. Any advice would be considered and appreciated.
