Chronic kidney disease + diabetes: what can dietitians do?

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure in Australia. In this podcast, DC's Jane Winter chats to Anne-Marie Desai, a clinical specialist dietitian who has worked in the area of kidney nutrition for over 20 years. We delve into protein and energy requirements, potassium and phosphate basics, the importance of glycaemic control and a relatively new concept called NEAP (Net Endogenous Acid Production). In just 40 minutes, you'll gain confidence in interpreting biochemistry and determining which of your diabetic clients would benefit from dietary modification to slow their progression to kidney failure.
