diabetes and dialysis

[aliciajacinta]

 i would like to know who many of you all have been told that this could be you?  I myself do not suffer this dialysis but do have diabetes 2. Just trying to find how many people are aware of this problem

I don't have to have dialysis, but after 15+ years of type 2 diabetes I do have the start of kidney problems.  Dr. has me on a low dose of Lisinopril.

Gaining control of my blood sugars through a radical change in diet just didn't happen soon enough.  I wish I'd known about this way of eating five or ten years ago, but instead I blindly followed the ADA and the nutritionists recommendations.

Take very good care of yourself,for my best friend does take dialysis treatment 3 days out of the week.when i met her about 17 years ago,she was never taking care of herself,would like to party,party and more party and never took me seriously when i would tell to stop and she just laughed. She now tells me that she should have paid attention,but i still will stick with her

Thank you, I will!  I just wish the ADA and doctors would stop giving bad nutritional advice and really get serious about giving diabetics the right dietary tools to control blood sugars...but then again they don't have anything to lose and everything to gain if we get sicker.

very true,right now she in the hospital due to her diabetes and hypertension,for she had kept falling,everytime i went to pick her up for dialysis ,she was also on the floor for she had fallen aagain, she will be undergoing surgery next week. But while her stay at a local hospital, due to her kidney problems she is not suppose to eat wheat and because of her diabetes she is not to have sugar(table). Well all this has been given to her on her food tray, and that right there tells you no one pays attention to order and the doctors don't pay attention to their patients
