For almost 25 years, my mum has suffered from diabetes. All of us (my siblings) are aware of her condition since we were young. She has been on medication and she also control her food intake. She has been very careful we her food. Nothing sweet or anything with carbs.
After 25 years, of course the medication that has been taken start to take effect on your main organs, especially the kidney. Somehow, my mum's kidney has suffered and lose its function now.
Last year, she started her medication on her kidney, besides her diabetes and also blood pressure. The doctor that she went to, never even once mention that she was not suppose to take food with high potassium and also phosphotus. None at all. He only mention that my mum was not suppose to eat beef and also star fruit. That is all. So, my mum obey the doctor's order. No beef and no startfruit. He did not explain the reason even though my mum asked. To me that was just plain weird. But, I did noy say much as my mum was worried with her condition.
Last week, some how, my dad brought my mum to see a different doctor. Her potassium level was sky rocket high. The thing is, a few days before that, my mum took like at least 4 bananas. Banana has super high potassium and she took four. So, when she went to see the doctor did a blood test, of course the reading on her potassium was super high. The doctor has no other choice but to put her on dialysis. So, from then on, she is on dialysis.
The thing, why the hell the first doctor never told her about the food that she can and she cannot take. So anyone who went to see a doctor in Seremban on your kidney problem, please be super careful. I don't think, him as a doctor, cares about your health. Please avoid going to him for consultation when it comes to your kidney problem. And I was not the only one who thought of him like that. There were actualy more others who feels the same way too toward this.
