Diabetics and Kidney Disease

Thanks Carol. I hopeI can remember about this-I will be in the Eastern time zone fielding the preparations for a very hungry team. Will it be somewhere on file Incase the circus gets overwhelming? Susu2

Hi @susu2. did you go on the site and register? You don't have to fill out everything---just the required fields. The rest is optional.They will send you a reminder. You'll get the info over your computer and be able to see and hear---just like being there. I'm looking forward to getting good information; I need to have some more food choices or know if some that are okay for my diabetes are not good for my kidneys. I have had kidney problems in the past and do all I can to avoid having that problem. One of the other mentors said she was going to see if there could be a recording of the session so that it could be shared later, but she hasn't heard back yet.
I am so glad to get this information and be walking with you and Willie. Life is good.

@retiredteacher I don't have kidney disease but I am mildly diabetic. I would think this might be beneficial for me also, even though I do not have kidney disease. They do keep an eye on my kidneys monthly because the immunosuppressants can wreak havoc on them. I have to drink 80 - 100 ounces of water a day to keep them flushed.
Getting off track though, I think I would like to go this but the registration asks about your kidney disease so maybe it would not be appropriate for me.
Thanks for posting this tough.

@contentandwell I don't have kidney disease either, but I have had kidney problems---teachers' disease from not going to the restroom and not having fluids often enough during all the years I taught. I could never leave a class, so I had to hold it until a class change. That caused UTI's regularly, and I took different meds to clear the infection. I also developed kidney stones and had several attacks. So I think at any regard we must take care of our kidneys. When they are in distress, the whole rest of the body is too. I think most people could use any information about what to eat to take care of the kidneys.
Don't worry about the registration. I put only the required: Name and email.

@kamama94 - I want to invite you to this discussion group. We hope to have others join us as we learn together about eating healthy.

I am registered! I'll look forward to seeing all of you next week.

@rosemarya Thanks. LOL, you just invited someone who ate doughnuts over the week-end. Sign me, Embarrassed Kamama.

@retiredteacher Retired nurses have the same problem.

@kamama94 I am glad you reminded me about nurses having the problem, and there are others who get locked into a situation that have it too. Thanks for reminding me. I think just about any woman deals with this, especially if she's in a job that calls for her to be responsible for a group all the time. It's a difficult situation, and eventually, it causes problems. I wish we could get more people to register for this presentation. I am sure it will be beneficial.
Donuts? Yum! But a No, no for me.

I used to love doughnuts so much that when I dieted I dreamed of doughnuts! DD's doughnuts aren't as good as they used to be though so much less of a temptation. I only like their jelly sticks. I was told when I being discharged from the hospital one time, and craving a jelly stick, that once in a great while it won't hurt so we stopped at the drive up and got one on the way home.
