Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005Kidney Disease
Does exercise help kidney function for diabetics who have various degrees of kidney disease? I'm referring to exercises like basic walking, swimming, light weightlifting, things like that. Thanks for any input. We live in an era where the doctors give diabetics the old food pyramid with lots of carbs. I do not expect that the true answer to your question is known. However, those with credentials will probably have an authoritative answer for you. > Does exercise help kidney function for diabetics who have various degrees of > kidney disease?

My guess is exercise has zero effect of kidney disease.

I don't know about 'direct' impact to the kidneys, but in a huge variety of indirect ways it would benefit your kidney function (blood sugar, weight control, blood pressure, etc. etc. etc.) See your doctor first > Does exercise help kidney function for diabetics who have various > degrees of kidney disease?

I would hazard *a guess* that it does, to the extent that it helps the diabetic control blood glucose levels. Doing so could possbily slow the progression of the disease. |
