Thanks for the comments :)

Hello A while ago I started a music blog, just me doing a few songs, (I used to play in bars but a couple of years ago had a stroke, right arm isn't the same now) I was happily making videos until about a month ago, I don't know what happened, I just stopped. I have been quite depressed about...

Thanks very much for that input, No2D, very helpful. 1-4 I'm doing better now , number 5 I'm trying to do, each day my understanding and recording of things is getting better. There is one thing, people say "test test test" but I haven't got an unlimited supply of strips... the nurse gives me...

Hi, it's called Lantus

Thanks! Then basal is what I do... (once a day in the morning)

Thanks for the replies! Wow so much to think about ! Are you on mixed insulin? Or a basal/bolus regime? I don't even know what this means :( Do you already know how to carb count? Not really How many grams of carbs are you currently eating? According to myfitnesspal 120g per day "What can you...

Hello, I'm trying to start eating fewer carbs (contrary to my nefrologist's advice) but I'm really struggling to know what to eat. The most important thing to me is taking care of my kidneys, which are working at 33%, so I need to be careful with potassium and phospherous too. I inject 50 units...

In genereal the whole system is bad in Spain, and the way they treat you is awful

Thanks for the advice everyone. Whenever I read on websites "you can talk to your renal dietician" or "your nurse will help you with this" it drives me crazy :( I don't have a renal dietician and my nurse (and doctor) are hopeless. Talking to them about diet is a waste of breath, I gave up...

I'll have a look at Dr Fung yes thanks BulkBiker! I forgot about that! Wow 90% kidney function?? I'd give my right arm for that! Oh wait...I already did! (not really, but it doesn't work as it used to....I'm actually trying to make light of it!)

Mine was 279

I take 50 units of insulin every morning and 5mg linagliptina at lunchtime, plus a whole boatload of other tablets

The issue with low carb is, all the things that are good for low carb (cheese, spinach, salmon etc) are bad for kidneys as theyre either too high in phosphorus or too high in potassium I guess I'll give it a try and try to substitute things as best I can. My other fear is the hypos! last time...

Thanks for the answers everyone. I've been told my main concern has to be my blood sugar readings, which are very high every day, and the diet isn't helping. I don't know if it's specifically high carb for reasons of low protein (probably) . I've stopped going to the doctors now, I don't keep...

Hello I'm type 2 and my kidneys are only working at 33%, my nefrologist has given me a diet high in carbs. I was wondering if anyone here has both diabetes and kidney issues and what do you eat? My glucose is 250+ every morning. Also does anyone know at what percentage you kidneys function to...

Hello that's nice, good morning too. Thanls for the rplies everyone, I didn't expect so many.

Hi After many visits to the doctor (and many shouting matches), and lots of lectures from family and my useless nefrologist, I've finally given in to them. I'm now on a diet with high carbs and very little protein. As my kidneys are only working at 30% now I have to limit protein). I have to eat...
