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

My go to medication when I took insulin was glucose tablets rather than juices and candy as they have a habit going to the other extreme, like a yo yo with blood sugar. I still continue with monitoring my blood glucose with the Libre 2. I have found that the glucose tablets bring my blood sugar to normalcy instead of the yo yo effect. The weakness you feel may be able to be compensated by the energy supplements of COQ10 & Resvertrol. You may wish to talk to your doc about this. If there is anyone in this world who can talk about nutrition and CKD, you are that source.

@collegeprof, thank you for your kind words. I keep glucose tablets on hand, too. Will mention COQ10 & Reservetrol on my next visit. I do have fairly low B/P, though, and am not on any B/P meds. Also take a statin and liver's ok except for a couple of higher values the docs say are related to CKD and GP and anemia from GP and CKD. . . I see primary in May but may email him about this suggestion before then so thanks again!

@collegeprof @kamama94 You both are so open with what has worked for you! It is a great education for me to read your experiences, and without a doubt, for others to read and consider their own situations. We are each so different, and it surely is a godsend to have a resource to look at and see what has worked for another person.
I am not a diabetic. I do take a couple of blood pressure medications that help ease stress on my kidneys, but high blood pressure is not a cause of my kidney issues. Thank you both for educating me how to approach daily challenges with food, medications, and the peripheral symptoms we all may need to handle as we deal with chronic kidney disease!
