Coordinating PNET, diabetes, and now chronic kidney disease

Posted by brucegs @brucegs, 4 hours ago

Hello,again. Got on to another horse on the doctor merry-go-round! My PRRT oncologid wanted me to see a nephrologist and I connected with one, whom I met today. A good visit, informative and reassuring. It seems I'm at stage 3a so I'll make the necessary adjustments. But it does seem as if the dietary patterns for kidney disease are the complete opposite of the dietary suggestions to control my insulin dependent diabetes, all complicated by (as expected) dietary tract reactions to lanreotide. How do others cope?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

@brucegs Sorry to hear about the kidney issues on top of your already PNET and diabetes. I too have a PNET and diabetes. I am curious how the dietary patterns for kidney disease are the complete opposite of the dietary suggestions for diabetes. Can you please give me a few examples? I too am trying to balance a diet with multiple issues. Thanks.
