@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?

@gingerw Hi Ginger, currently we are staying away from beef as much as possible, cooking with an air fryer, mostly chicken, fish and pork. Less potatoes and breads, except for real sour dough bread which does not seem to spike blood sugars as much as "regular" breads. Try to add in fresh fruits and vegetables when possible. I try to cook from scratch as much as possible, very little prepared meals. We are not very adventurous with different spices as I never can seem to get the right combination or flavors. Maybe I am just kind of overwhelmed with trying to keep my husband as healthy as possible. He is 82, CKD, DM2, only one kidney and now cancer in the ureter from his kidney connecting to his bladder. Sorry, I am just rambling on. Best Wishes and Good Luck to everyone as we are all on a journey of some kind. Rhoda
