Diet for diabetes and stage 4 CKD - very confusing.

It is difficult to figure out a RENAL DIABETIC DIET. The cookbooks I’ve found are for patients with DIABETES or CKD but do not take into account someone with both chronic diseases. You cannot choose one or the other but must consider both when meal planning since the limitations of each are quite different. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

@jsaling, Scroll back to see my kidney-friendly diabetic recipes or ask Ginger to re-post the link. Hope you find something you can use, as a diabetic with CKD I sure can relate to your difficulty.
I have Type II diabetes and CKD 3b. I recently met with my Mayo Rochester kidney doctor, and she told me to follow my diabetes diet, and keep salt and protein (any protein, animal and plant based) intake low. No other restrictions were given to me concerning my kidney problems.
@jsaling I also have both conditions. I got a referral from endocrinologist & nephrologist to land a nutritionist well versed in both conditions. I was blessed with resources for both. My hopes and prayers for you to find the same.
I agree. Very hard. Since we have to look into Diabetic, High Blood Pressure plus all other factors like Potassium, Sodium etc etc. Not knowing why Kidney is failing? Why creatinine is high even with vegetarian diet?
Any one succeeded with particular diet?

@jsaling You're so right! From what I have read, basically it is combining the two together, as you said. What is allowed on one, may not be allowed on the other. Quite a battle to find what is tasty, and good for us. Nothing is easy, is it?
