Description
If you're reading this, chances are you or someone you love is managing both diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD)—two serious yet manageable conditions that affect millions globally. You may feel confused, overwhelmed, or even defeated by the long list of dietary restrictions handed to you by your healthcare team. But take heart: with the right knowledge and tools, it's entirely possible to nourish your body, protect your kidneys, and enjoy what you eat—all at the same time.
This cookbook was written for you, to help transform daily eating into an act of healing, not deprivation.
Why the Diabetic Renal Diet Is So Important
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 1 in 3 adults with diabetes also suffers from some level of kidney disease. That's about 12 million people in the U.S. alone.
Here’s why this matters:
Over 37 million Americans have CKD, and most don’t know it.
Approximately 90% of people with CKD are unaware of their condition.
Diabetes is responsible for 44% of new cases of kidney failure in the U.S.
People with both conditions face a 3x greater risk of cardiovascular disease compared to the general population.
These numbers are sobering—but there is hope. Diet plays a pivotal role in slowing or halting kidney damage, stabilizing blood sugar, and preventing complications.
Why This Book Exists
You didn’t choose diabetes or CKD—but you can choose how you respond. Whether you’re one of the 422 million people worldwide living with diabetes or part of the 10% of the global population with kidney disease, this cookbook offers more than just meals. It’s a reminder that you’re not alone. It’s a toolkit to help you eat well, live well, and manage your health with confidence.
