Welcome, I'm glad you found us.

A food I found shortly after going mostly vegetarian was lentils, they are amazingly nutrition and meld well with all types of cuisine.

How long have you been in a stage 3 diabetic? Have you modified other aspects of your lifestyle as well. We love to hear all of the newest tips and tricks people have.

I was diagnosed by my June blood work but PPC didn't seem alarmed even though GFR in December 2019 was 56 and June came in at 48! A
I immediately started researching and was scared and angry when PPC gave me no instructions except water. Exercise and cut down on alcohol. Nothing about anything else and ordered more blood work for a week prior to my October 2 appt. I immediately became vegan in late July. My current labs showed GFR 60! I'm asking for a referral for renal dietician and nephrologist. Wish me luck!;

@jolinda and @nssmir2 Lentils may need to be watched if you include them a lot on a kidney-friendly diet. They tend to be high in both phosphorus and potassium, which need monitoring if you have kidney issues!
