Urine K is best way to keep track of balance if intake high and urine low then you are holding on to K Symptoms may be a better guide to K in cells that blood K.

DASHing can be tricky. You need to know what your Na and K levels are so that you do not throw your K level off by DASHing. I do not DASH to the max because my K levels have stabilized in the normal range following my DASH-like diet. This is a support group, not a group of medical doctors!
