Thank-you for that info. Gordon, I see a Kidney Doc on May 22nd. I am nervous because I don't want to have an more health problems! Plus a Kidney Diet is more restrictive than a Diabetic diet.☹️

Not sure what you mean by "too high"

Kidney function is routinely tested using a couple of different tests - eGFR (blood test) or ACR (urine test)

The eGFR (estimated globulin filter rate) gives an indication of how well your kidney's are working

The result of the test - a number corresponds to 1 of 5 (categories) or stages of Kidney Function

Stage 1 is essentially normal

Stage 2 is mildly decreased kidney function but working well

Stage 3 broken into A and B being (A) mild to moderate or (B) moderate to severe impairment

Stage 4 Severe Impairment - barely working

Stage 5 Kidney Failure

The "guideline" states that if you have "deteriorating Stage 3B" you should be referred to a Nephrologist (Kidney Doc)

I have Type 2 diabetes and was diagnosed a few years later with CKD 3a. I'm still working on developing healthy meals that are good for both diseases. Not fun but can be done. All the best to you.

It doesn't need to be.I have kidney failure on dialysis and have been officially diabetic since 2002.l only had to slightly tweak my food intake.
