I guess everything gets a "day" now, but for us Kidney's are kind of important

Unfortunately for us the Beast we call Diabetes seems to really like destroying Kidneys - 1 in 3 of us will develop some level of Kidney Disease simply because we are Diabetic

I'm in those statistics - I have Stage 2 CKD

If I don't want to be part of that 15% of us that sees things end because of CKD then I need to "behave"

Keeping your blood sugar below 8.7 mmols/157 "as many minutes of the day as possible" will… read more
