[QUOTE="SJC, post: 588883, member: 108294"] I certainly can't say for a fact that diet will definitely bring down your GFR as there may be other health factors involved that throw a spanner in the works. All I can say is that I have a LCHF diet with very little grain at all these days. My carb intake varies from day today but average is probably around 50 or 60 gms carb a day. I think portion control is important too and would rather have three or four smaller meals than a couple of big ones. I do eat a couple of red bell peppers every week as these are good for kidney function and of course I eat lots of veg and keep my protein intake low. (again it's about portions of proteins). I also check sodium in everything I eat so I don't take in too much. I have stopped eating any tub marg and only use unsalted butter now. Otherwise I use extra virgin olive oil for cooking or drizzling on salads. I only have levels of prediabetes and after my last test I have even moved to the normal range, but those who have a much higher glucose level than me will run into kidney difficulties if their glucose is not monitored and treated efficiently, whether that's with diet or meds or both. I have a friend who had perfectly normal kidneys three years ago, she then got type 2 diabetes and six months ago was told it has now affected the function of her kidneys. [/QUOTE]
