Hi Ginger; Thank you for your remarks...so true...My GFR was at 33 and I got it up to 46.I put myself on the best Kidney diet I could & cross referenced it with a diabetic diet even tho' I was told by the Kidney Doc diet wasn't really necessary as it was a broad spectrum diagnosis...and I refused to take Metformin suggested by my GP(contra indicated for people over 70 or with CKD....This was 5 yrs ago.....so far so good...I am now 85 hoping to stay healthy and continue painting; but am angry at the cavalier attitude of some docs. Wondering if going to see a Geriatrician would help...or how one would even do that? thanks for listening
