    When I was diagnosed type 2 5 yrs ago, was surprised my dietician said eat as much eggs, bacon and red meat I wanted. For years we heard these foods were bad. Avoiding carbs (esp sugar products) eating right, snacking on nuts, losing 10 lbs, and daily exercise dropped my A1c from 12 to 5.6 in 3 months with NO insulin.

    American medicine is a disaster. How can you take care of someone, if you see them less than an hour a year. Add in student debt and worn out practitioners-I fear it’s only getting worse. I would add to your video-a disclaimer about alcohol. Not only does it throw blood work way out-it can show up a kidney damage or also-you think you are drinking too much-aka feel tired, dehydrated, morning nausea, edema, broken veins and dry skin, blood pressure. It could mask kidney issues. It could also mimic them. And you cannot have alcohol with kidney (or liver) disease.

    How to prevent kidney disease. Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables while limiting salt and processed foods. Stay adequately hydrated, avoid excessive over-the-counter painkillers, and monitor blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Regular exercise and avoiding smoking further contribute to healthy kidney function.

    My kidneys were fine a 2 year s ago.. Egfr 99. Normal levels. All ive done since then is eat healthy. Low sodium foods. Skinless chicken... Salmon... No dairy.... Low sugar... No medications. High fiber. Woke up in severe pain last week. Rushed to er. Anemic. Rbc in urine was over 50+ egfr down to 70. 2 kidney stones. And a huge cyst. All because i was eating healthy!!?? All i drink was water in that time. Funny thing is i was preaching about eating healthy to my coworkers. And now i end up in er and all these kidney issues. I don't take any medication. Ive lost alot of weight. I am 6ft 1. I was 195lbs. Ive lost almost 65lbs. Thats now severely underweight. I haven't eat processed foods or fried foods or anything bad in that time.
