I am diabetic, and have only one kidney, as well as having Parkinson's.?!
Question: Because diabetes affects the kidneys, I am to be on a low-protein diet. Does anyone have any information, suggestions, etc, for me? Thank you.
Answers:
I found this information for you at the National Kidney Foundation web site which seems to be pretty informative on strategies for low-protein diets for kidney disease.

To get there, I did a yahoo search for the topic:

Other topics of interest found, but which seem to be less immediately useful are from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and John Hopkins University School of Medicine.
