The other day you posted regarding read how it raises your sugar. I need some help with this there having my husband go to a Kidney specialist as his kidney is in bad shape from the diabetic. They told him that he is so have 0 protenn,sugar “which we know” and salt .His pretty much on a vegetarian diet from now on, the Doc said he need aggressive treatment or he will be on Dialysis within 5 years. He also maxed all his meds to the max does as our family doc had him on the min dose all this time. All week he has been eating very good lots of good vegetables but there in a sandwich and he has been up to the 300’s.i think it’s the bread doing this. His eating sandwich 4 or 5 times a day.

Julie,


He needs to see the dietitian for help. This is a really tricky diet that he needs to be on. Being a diabetic he needs to balance his carbs with his protein and he needs some protein. I wish he had taken better care of his diabetes before this happened. Hopefully if he can get his blood sugar under control and bring his A1c down to normal range he can reverse the kidney damage. This just shows you why the patient has to be diligent in getting the care that they need to protect their eyes, kidneys and feet.


If you look of the internet look for renal diabetic diet. It is a pretty miserable diet unfortunately.


I am sorry I can't be more encouraging.
