Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions diabetics with kidney disease should take?Doctor's answer:
For people with diabetic nephropathy, it is important to pay special attention to diet control in daily life. High-calorie foods should be avoided as much as possible, as their consumption can easily lead to increased blood sugar levels in patients, thereby exacerbating the body's metabolic stress and worsening the condition. At the same time, the diet should be based on lightness to reduce kidney burden, and it is also necessary to supplement vitamins and proteins. More fruits and vegetables should be consumed to increase the intake of dietary fiber, and spicy and irritating foods should be eaten less. Proper diet control greatly contributes to the stability and recovery of the condition.
