[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 123837, member: 13582"] Hi Fortuna, I'm sorry about that - your question got drowned out by the science there... What I would suggest and this is what Katherine's study seemed to agree with is investigate a low carbohydrate diet; i.e. stop eating potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, grains and all derivatives. Have a look on the low-carb section for more details. In terms of medication if you are not on Lisinopril or similar you should ask your GP to think about that and prescribe it for you; there is good evidence that it provides good protection for kidney function (as well as helping to lower your blood pressure). I would also suggest vitamin B1 (thiamine) as suggested by Janabelle plus vitamin D3, and I'd go for the best quality that you can find/afford in both. Your kidney function is estimated when you have blood tests done by a reading called the EGFR which stands for Estimated Globular Filtration Rate - if you search for that you'll find quite a lot of information, Stage 3 may sound bad, but it's not the end of the line by any stretch of the imagination. The complications of diabetes do not have to be progressive; if you can sort out your blood sugars you will be able to prevent further damage being done and who knows may be able to improve your situation; many people on here find that that is not just a pipe dream but the reality of good control. I'm sorry you're having such a tough time of it. All the best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
