Pre-dialysis diets are different than dialysis diets – there is no one renal diet. This book includes information on what to do if you have diabetes in addition to kidney disease in the non-dialysis stages to slow the progression of kidney failure.

The book shows you how to figure out the number of calories you need to eat and how much protein to eat as well. Then, the details about each kind of nutrient – carbohydrate, fat, protein and water – are provided to show you how to build a healthy strategy for your day to day needs. This book contains no recipes – the goal is to get you on the right track with the foods you already eat.
