Hi @Shaz51 just saw your post on the welcome thread about needing dietician. Hope diet and drinking more water helps. Does salt content make much difference? Trouble is most processed food has salt added.

Hello my awesome friends @Dimity , @Jynx , @hanami 

Yes I have to cut back on sugar , salt , potassium,  protein , phosphorus 

My cholesterol,  diabetes,  parathyroid levels are all high but kidney is stable at 19 %

Sounds difficult and very challenging @Shaz51 . Definitely one for the dietician. 

I'm supposed to watch salt and I'm also prediabetic, and have slipped a bit the last   little while. I mostly cook food from fresh or frozen as processed foods are usually so high in salt and sugar. I quite often have pulses and nuts. Actually dried pulses and dried beans etc are good for the budget too.

I'm glad your kidney function is stable but 19% isn't brilliant.  So long as it postpones dialysis.
