Need Diet For Diabetic With One Kidney Posted: 01-21-04 19:53pm
I am looking for a diet for a type 2
diabetic with one kidney. Doctor has
prescribed low/no carb diet with low/no
prtein diet. Would rather not eat
lettuce for my next 50 years. Any
suggestions or ideas would be greatly
welcomed.
Thanks
One of the most severe long-term
micro-vascular complications of diabetes
is diabetic nephropathy that leads to
kidney failure. Diabetic nephropathy can
be prevented (or delayed) by:
1. good control of the diabetes (glucose
blood level);
2. efective treatment of the hypertensia
(if present);
3. diet with reduced protein intake;
4. stop smoking, and
5. regulation of the blood fats.
Diet for preventing diabetic
nephropathy includes:
- protein restriction (less than 20% of
the whole calory intake);
- fats restriction (less than 30% and
unsaturated fat acids should dominate);
- carbohydrates remain the greatest
energy sorce (50-60%). Carbohydrates rich
with fibers are recommended.
You can also consult some
nutritionist about this.
