Hi Darcy, I’m Alan I am stage 2 CKD and an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic. I was in your place years ago
I listened to dietitians and when I got sick of arguing with them that some of the foods they told me I could eat I found out I shouldn’t eat them. I started using the glycemic index and that was much better I could look up foods to find out if they were good for me or not and if I tested my sugars right after a meal and then 2 hours after that meal I could see how that food affected my blood glucose, if I was below 180 I was on the right track and I knew I could eat that food again, also go for a walk doesn’t mean you have to do a race just a nice steady walk you’d be surprised how much it helps

Darcy - Hello! I have both 3B CKD and diabetes. My sugars spike when I eat sugars (obviously) and simple carbohydrates. When I was growing up the carbs were divided into two categories, simple and complex carbs. Simple carbs are things like sugar, refined flours, whire rice, etc. and complex carbs are whole grains, beans, fruits, veggies, etc. Are you using a continuous glucose meter? If your insurance will cover them, get one! You can figure out which foods cause your sugars to spike and which don't. I think it works better than trying to follow complex food diets, especially when you have multiple diets to follow like you do. I have used both monitors available on the market, the Libra and Dexcom. I can give you the positive and negatives with each one if you are interested. Let me know if you are interested.

I had a friend who blood sugar was 400 I told her to boil okra and eat and drink the okra juice
It will lower your blood sugar quickly.
Also check your sugar after eating the okra and juice

Hello DarcyMaranda when I was first diagnosed with CKD I was referred to a nutritionist and we went over my kidney results and came up with a plan for my diet according to my number. That would be what I would suggest you do and it will be so much more beneficial for your other issues as well. I know that it works for me even now. Good luck

Thanks Patricia I will definitely ask for a nutritionist. It will be helpful
