@marlinhampton, welcome back. I see that you are searching for answers to your previously asked question about living with kidney disease and sugar intake. I moved your question to the previous discussion here:
- Non-diabetic, CKD: What is salt substitute? How much sugar can I have?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/not-diabetic-ckd-stage-3b/

I did this so you can see the helpful responses from @gingerw @realitytest @kamama94 and others.

You ask how many teaspoons can I have a day. Don't forget to count hidden sugars. This article explains:
- Sugar and Your Kidneys https://www.kidney.org/content/sugar-and-your-kidneys

I understand your frustration with getting a straight answer because most information talks about having both diabetes and kidney disease when searching about sugar intake.

Do you find it hard to reduce sugar?
