Is a kidney transplant worth it?

In fact, with good medical management and my renal-diabetic-gastro diet and lots of support from people like Ginger, I am back up to stage 3b kidney function. If or when I need to go back on dialysis, I would do so, depending, of course, on the stage I'd be in and if it would be helpful.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me questions. Also, Ginger can notify me if you'd like to know more about my kidney-diabetic-gastro journey.
I wish you peace and blessings!

My diabetes is well controlled. My A1C has been 5 to 5.4 for a while. I’m a type 1 using an insulin pump almost since diagnosis.
My blood pressure is also controlled with medication. I also know how hard a diet is with multiple issues. On top of those that are obvious I also have celiac. My transplant dr told me I was very frail, said it was a 50/50 chance and couldn’t guarantee it would improve my life. It is up to me. So, I’m waiting for a scan to see if my veins and arteries are healthy enough for the transplant. I don’t know if I want to do either. It doesn’t seem that there is a good choice. Maybe I should just do the best I can with diet. How did you get your kidneys to work bette? I didn’t think that was possible? Thanks for responding. I truly appreciate it.
