    I agree. Meat is very taxing on depleted kidneys

      Sorry, I don't have any answers. Just whenever I eat meat these days my legs and hips twitch. It's so annoying. Can't sleep. Big dilemma. It is interesting that you get a better reading when abstaining from meat. I'm cusping between stages 4 @ 5.

    I dont know about the meat or types of food but my neph does tend to ask me what time of day I had my bloods and if it was before or after my linch. Must make a difference. Hes asked me to stick to the same time now so its consistant.

    Firstly, remeber that meat is not the only source of protein - plenty of vegetable sources as well.

    Secondly, don't fast for too long - after all your glucose stores are used up then your body switches to using protein (that is, your muscles) for a short while before it switches to using fat. However I think you need to fast for at least a day to get rid of your glucose stores (don't rely on this!).
