[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Looking for recipes

 

We can't make specific recommendations because we don't know precisely what your dietary restrictions are. We can offer some general guidelines. You need to meet with a nutritionist experienced in this problem. Your dialysis center can recommend someone for you. It's a common problem amongst dialysis patients.

Generally, a diabetic renal disease patient would want to eat a low carb, low protein, low potassium and relatively low sodium diet. Thus, depending on your caloric needs, you'd need to get more of your calories from healthy fats. What that means is that your emphasis should be on eating non-starchy vegetables with vegetable oil. You can liberally use herbs and spices to keep the food interesting. You can go to our files section and use the vegetable recipes. You can use most of the meat and fish recipes, reducing the amount of meat or fish to correspond to your dietary restrictions. Because fruits are generally high in potassium, they need to be restricted.

It may take some planning and research, but you should be able to find adjusted recipes that you can enjoy. Our files section has about 10,000 recipes to work with.
