What to eat. Diabetic & 7 heart stents.
Kidney & Bladder | Last Active: Dec 12, 2023 | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
When diagnosed with CKD my doctor sent me a list of foods to avoid and foods that were ok to eat. That was helpful. I need recipes. I don't have a nutritionist and don't know where to find one in my area but I really like that idea. I've lost 25 pounds in the last year and quit dieting I guess mainly because I've been married 66 years and my spouse can eat anything. Makes it hard to cook. I want to have the years I have left to be quality. I have started to limit salt & carbs. Is that the best?? I really dislike being devoted full time to ME. Open to all suggestions.
