A renal diet …
Low potassium
Low phosphate
Low Salt
Low fat
Protein restriction
They usually also put you on a fluid restriction. Remember, puddings, jello and anything that turns into a fluid at room temperature is considered a fluid.
Be careful when using salt substitutes, many of them contain potassium.
This can be a very difficult diet to be on, especially while being a diabetic. I have seen many patients that were depressed because of their choices of food.
Ask your doctor to refer you to a dietician. They can help you set up a meal plan and discuss any further questions you may have. Were you just recently in the hospital? Who put you on this diet? They should have thoroughly explained it to you and made sure you understood.
Good luck to you and I wish you good health!
Come on… if you have “slight kidney” dysfunction its not the renal diet you need its the sugar control after 21 years you know that.
I have been a diabetic all my 47 years I just started on dialysis 5 months ago. It is the last stop for me that is why its called END Stage renal failure. DON’T even or every go there!!! its not fun its not helpful! its just what it is… a way to stay alive!
After 21 years and you don’t know what a 1200 diet is you need some super serious help. I am not trying to me mean but from where Im sitting you are the very blessed one.
Your toxins are still cleanable by drinking plendy of water, distilled if you really want the best
Us on the renal diet can’t drink more than 3 cups of ANY liquid in a 24 hour time. thats even the part of the jello, puddings, and we even have to count the ” teaspoons of salt soup” they give if the blood pressure goes to low during dualysis! even the water I use with my pills!
A renal diet is not really a diet its a big book of forbidden foods, never a baked potatoe again, never a fresh veggie or fruit again. Im allowed 1/8 canned peaches but I have to count them into my liquid too!! NO black drinks such as diet coke, strong tea, oh… and coffee
Hope you get the picture….. Stick with the care of your blood sugars, be happy and thank your blessing every day when you enjoy your fresh water.
