@obone (George) Hi my name is Cheryl. Don’t mean to interrupt your thread with Ginger (she is great) but I have some things in common with you, just a bit further along. I have CKD stage 4, diabetes and hypertension. Diabetes and hypertension are the 2 leading causes of CKD. I concur with Ginger about getting a team together consisting of customized specialists, get plenty of water, add a nutritionist well versed in CKD & diabetes. All of this can help you find stability for your various conditions (maybe even improvement). Last but far from least I am a Christian believer. I will be praying God’s blessings for you.

Cheryl: First of all thanks for taking the time to write and send your message. Both you and Ginger have given me sound "wisdom." I've been pre-diabetic for years... Since 2018 I have 5 cardiac stents put in my arteries... I'm a cancer survivor to boot :)... hypertension, too. Believe it or not... until these last 6 months... I worked out 3 times a week and am a bike cyclist... doing 100K bike tours (approx 65 miles) 5 or 6 times a summer... and train throughout the year. However, my cardiologist told me I am "genetically" disposed to bad cardiac outcomes... this thing with my kidneys has blindsided me.
I'll make sure to drink plenty of water... and this week will contact a nephrologist. I live in a great medical community... so that is comforting. AND a nutritionist as well.
I, too, am Christian and know from personal experience... that personal suffering can be very "redemptive." I will keep you in prayer, also. Blessings and peace your way.
