Hi @angelasmom thank you for starting this thread. My mom has recently been diagnosed with LV. I'm devastated that there is no cure, hopefully she will do well managing it.

By the way, the doctor told her to minimize her sugar and salt intake. Does anyone know if salt and sugar intake is related to LV?

Hi @mayoclinicforum ,

Sugar and salt are your enemy.

Sugar is known to be linked to hypotension, causing low blood pressure.

Salt also restricts the arteries big time!

Why does this matter? Blood flow increases healing, it delivers the oxygen and nutrients needed to speed up your wound care healing process.

Hope this helps!
Martin
