Lantus
Hi all. I realised just a while ago I forgot to take my lantus Insulin last night!! I woke up with a very high reading that's when I remembered. What do most of you think I should do? Not take it till my normal time tonight? Or take a little now?

Steroid pump for secondary adrenal insufficiency with traumatic brain injury
Hi. I’m new on this site but I wanted to share my AI stories, answer some questions and hopefully find some more resources to help us with this challenging condition. I’m reading that a lot of people on this site seem to be taking their steroids orally. I too was started on oral medication, dexamethasone

Partner of kidney patient looking for support
My partner was diagnosed with kidney failure in June. He began hemodialysis right away and continues to do it three times per week. In October, he had the abdominal catheter added for home peritoneal dialysis and is currently being trained on how to do it. He will likely begin treatment at home next

My Osteoporosis Journey

Diet changes
Hi everyone! I'm in the early stages of ckd and right now I'm really trying to wrap my head around what I should be eating to be as nice to my kidneys as possible. For the last year or so I've been under the impression that the most important thing is to stay low in protein and to keep full eat more

PD Catheter
Hi, EGFR now dropped to 11, and PD catheter being fitted next week, followed by a Fistula soon after. Any advice on coping with Peritoneal Dialysis would be appreciated. Interested in whether I may feel 'healthier', or whether there is no real change.

Disclosing CKD
Hi everyone, I need some advice. I don’t know if I should disclose my medical condition to my employer. I was recently diagnosed with with CKD. I found out in June I had CKD. I only confided in one colleague. After my biopsy I found out I have Stage IV CKD, just last week. It is caused by IGA Nephropathy

Kidney Doctor
Can't seem to get an appointment any time soon and I'm worried. What is the kidney doctor "really" going to do? My GP is testing my blood weekly (which I think I might switch to monthly) Had an ultrasound...normal. My BP and sugar is good. Eating much better, exercising. I feel pretty good....a little

Peritoneal Dialysis
My husband and I are training to do PD. He had the permanent catheter implanted and it is working fine. Someone recommended that he should get a fistula in his arm as a backup. Is that usually done?

Alternative Therapy to Preserve Renal Transplants
I had a live-donor renal transplant 13 years ago, but I'm well aware that such transplants usually only last 15 years so I am looking for ways to preserve its function. I now take Renadyl, which contains microflora which have been shown in several scientific studies to reduce levels of uremic toxins

Antibiotics
Please be aware - be your own expert or use your clinical specialist service if you have any queries. I recently had a basal cell carcinoma removed and skin graft on my nose. I knew this was a possibility because of the immunosuppressant I was taking post transplant and had spoken about it’s possible
