  • Title: So just what can I eat? Nutritional care in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease.
    Author: Beto JA, Nicholas M.
    Journal: Nephrol Nurs J; 2009; 36(5):497-504; quiz 505. PubMed ID: 19856811.
    Abstract:
    The balance of nutrition in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease is essential to optimum health outcomes. Multiple nutritional parameters need to be monitored, including energy balance, protein intake (type and amount), mineral control (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus), fluid requirements, and coordination of carbohydrates, to achieve glycemic control in diabetes mellitus. The nephrology nurse benefits by understanding the multiple nutrition parameters required in diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease to participate and reinforce the complexities of the daily nutritional challenges in coordination with a registered dietitian. A comprehensive overview of the nutrition parameters in chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus is discussed so the question "So just what can I eat?" can be answered with greater confidence.
