Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

My question seems to be misunderstood. "Super Beets" is a product, sold on TV. It is supposed to improve blood pressure and allow for increased physical activity. As a Type2 diabetic as well as a possible CKD patient with a GFR at 46, I am aware of the reduced need for sugar and salt but on the labels nutrition chart it show that a serving of "Super Beets" has a 3% of sodium level and a sugar level at 3g. I would like to know if anyone is familiar with this product. I am not comparing "Super Beets" with the fresh vegetable.

@pcjaparis I looked this product up on the internet. People should be aware of the magnesium citrate ingredient, which can be detrimental to some health conditions, including CKD. Also, I note the medical review of the product is from an obstetrician/gynecologist with no mention of nutrition education. This, for me, is a big red flag.
Your endocrinolgist and nephrologist would be good sources to ask the questions about using SuperBeets in your own individual case, as they have the best knowledge of your situation. What may look good on the surface may not be a good fit for you. In my experience, fresh food is always best when possible.
