Diet is an important treatment for patients with diabetic kidney disease. If you are diagnosed with diabetic kidney disease, you should manage a healthy diet.

The diet you consume will help you lower our blood glucose level and reduce further damage to your kidneys. So you should well manage your diet from the following aspects: protein, fat, carbohydrate, phosphorus, potassium and sodium.

You should consume low but high quality protein.

Low protein can help reduce the burden of kidneys. Protein will break down into waste products, which should be filtered by kidneys. You are suggested to control protein intake within 0.8g everyday. If the kidneys have already progressed into kidney failure, protein intake should be limited to 0.6g. Most of the protein you take should come from the high quality protein, such as fish, chicken and eggs.

You should consume right amount of carbohydrate.

You are suggested to regulate the carbohydrate amount at an even level. Distribute the carbohydrate properly in your three meals. Do remember that you can not eat all your carbohydrate at once and at one meal. This is because it will elevate the blood glucose level to an acceptable level, which is dangerous to your health.
