I have found out I have stage 3 kidney failure due to the fact I'm diabetic. I wish they would have caught it or told me at stage 1 or 2. I am waiting for a appointment with a nephrologist in Sept. I have looked up all the foods to avoid and all the ones I can have. The main one I will miss is tomatoes. I love spaghetti and all other meals that use tomatoes. If anyone else is coping with kidney failure I would like to talk. I am 88 and was shooting for 100. My husband is 94 and is helping me as much as he can.

@hazel44671 Let me add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. The Kidney and Bladder support group has a lot of great information. Here is one of the discussions there, about Stage 3 kidney disease and diet: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/3rd-stage-kidney-disease/

Most doctors do not address our kidney disease in the earlier stages, as many of our members will relate to you.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you have, over in the kidney and bladder support group!
Ginger
