Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with Stage 3b CKD a few days ago. I am Type 2 diabetic. I was placed on blood pressure meds and told to “drink more and cut down my protein.” I have been intermittent fasting for about 4 months. I’ve managed to lose 40 pounds and probably need to lose another 20-25 (according to the BMI). My a1c is now 5.6. My question is, now that I have been diagnosed with CKD, should I stop using intermittent fasting? Wondering if the fasting may have been doing damage to my kidneys?

Thanks for reading this. I am 48 years old with a wife and young daughter. I’m absolutely scared to death about this. Any information would be much appreciated!
