New to CKD: Looking for advice

@bward200158 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Your mom is a lucky lady, to have you looking out for her now. Thank you for doing that.
Please take your time to look through the different discussions here in this support group. As you will discover, diet can play a big part in helping to stabilize our declining kidney function. Another thing, is to understand why your mom's kidney function is declining. Are there diabetes or high blood pressure issues involved? Have those been addressed?
How is your mom doing now, and how are you doing?

Thank you for replying to my message. I am trying to do my best for her. Yes, she has diabetes and high blood pressure. They finally put her on the Mounjar shot and it seems to help some. She has been on it about 5 weeks now, I am doing okay just worried about her. She is doing okay considering everything she got going on. I appreciate all the information I can get. We went and saw a diabetic nutritionist and I felt like we didn’t the answers we were looking for there. Would a nutritionist be better than a diabetic nutritionist or they about the same? I am thinking about getting an appointment with nutritionist.
Thank you.
