[|Human|] My husband has most of the symptoms of being a diabetic and having kidney damage. He will not go to the doctor so we are doing our best with what we read and learn. He is 6 ft and 200 lbs.  We know that exercise and diet are extremely important. Is there anything that we can do to help the damaged kidneys?
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that your husband is known diabetes and has kidney damage due to Diabetic Nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is a Chronic Kidney Disease witChatDoctorplex physiological changes in various metabolic changes in body and can not be treated at home by reading on internet without consulting a qualified Nephrologist and having investigated thoroughly by doing blood tests to assess his kidney function. It is harmful and risky to treat such patients yourself at home by trial and errors and may cause further damage to his kidneys rather than any help. I would suggest you to convince him to consult qualified Nephrologist and get investigated and to take further treatment by scientific approach. Chat Doctor.
