Jane was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes after a regimen of medications for psoriatic arthritis impacted her kidneys. Initially, she was advised to lose weight, but what truly helped her was working with a renal dietitian. Jane learned about CKD and advocated for her health. She faced challenges with diet as renal and diabetic diets often conflict. She avoided red meat, processed meats, and managed her intake of chicken, fish, and dairy. Jane kept a food tracker and learned which foods were good for both CKD and diabetes. She lost weight and improved her health by eating a plant-based diet, avoiding high-potassium foods, and using natural, unprocessed foods. Jane also exercised regularly and took medications like Ozempic to manage her conditions. Her efforts led to significant improvements in her lab results, weight, and overall health. Jane now advocates for patient education and support through organizations like the National Kidney Foundation.
