My mom visited the doctor recently and was told that her high levels of potassium is starting to affect her kidneys. She is also diabetic and since then I have been trying to mix and match what she should eat.? It is possible to send me a diet plan if available.

Best regards

  The best advice is to ask your mom’s doctor for a referral to a dietitian who can assess your mom and design an individualized diet that will address the high potassium level, her diabetes and her kidney function. The DaVita Diet Helper tool contains meal plans with menus, recipes and shopping lists based on the protein and potassium level the user selects. I think you will find this tool very helpful.
