I have one query
My nephrologist prescribes, inter alia, to avoid salt in my Kidney/Diabetes diet.
At the same time he prescribes for me SODIUM BICARBONATE - 2000 mg per day -1000 in the morning and 1000 in the evening.
My wife quite rightly says this is an OXYMORON.
Can anyone Kidney dietitian or Nephrologist explain this to me?

NIH reported on a study of the effects of sodium bicarbonate in a few hundred Caucasian men and women. About half the group was on placebo. After a year the placebo group came out better. I was not able to copy the link but it should not be difficult to Google.
