Is there any good guidance on diet and recipes for someone with both CKD and DM Type2? I can find for one or the other but when you have both it gets complicated as some are good for CKD but not DM and visa versa. Thanks. Rhoda

@atl1943 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! There are several of us who face the same dilemma you mention. Having CKD plus another health concern with its own dietary restrictions. For me, it is a diet friendly to gout. I jokingly tell people that I can have oatmeal, apples, and cardboard.

This is where being your own advocate is crucial. Compare the healthy food plans for your situation, and then plan around it all. Fresh foods as much as you can. I really don't think it is "one size fits all", and we have to look at our numbers and decide how to proceed.

What are you doing currently for your food plan?
