It makes me sad to see the patients on dialysis, but happy to hear it’s not painful. It also makes me thankful for my health. It’s amazing to keep hearing how many negative effects diabetes can have and to know how easy it is to prevent or control it.
The dialysis does not look like it is fun at all. I don’t know anyone that has had to do this and hope now one that I know ever has to go through that.
I was aware that kidney stones/ kidney disease was related to diabetes, just because of what I was taught in other classes. But I had no idea that eating to much meat could lead to kidney stones; I guess if I had putted two and two together- since when you have certain types of stones they tell you to lay off the red meats like liver and such; I could or would have eventually realized that it was a culprit.
Americans eat way too much meat. My family eats meat only three times to four times per week. We love meat, but raw veggies and fruits are the bulk of our diet because we want to preserve our health.
Very eye opening. My friend has had kidney stones forever, I think she’s just prone to it. I didn’t know some of the information here, so I like the videos quite a bit. I didn’t know there were different types of stones, and that too much meat could cause them!
So awful to take 3 half days a week to clean out their bodies. I could think of so much more to do with that time, therefore I will be sure to take care of myself and eat healthier.
I learned something new in these videos!!! I learned that your kidneys have a realtionship with one having diabetes. I had the impression that it really was only associated with the liver and that was it!
Preventing Diabetes and high blood pressure will prevent this problem. Proper nutrition, exercise, healthy living will eliminate the need for dialysis is most cases. I agree that too much meat is a major risk factor, but also eating highly processed foods can be worsen the effects of Diabetes, resulting in kidney damage.
I agree I think exercise plays a major roles as well. It’s hard to keep your body healthy when many of us don’t have all the right information. These videos were short, but helpful.
I didn’t know kidney stones was in relation to diabeties. I did however know there were different types of stones. The pain of kidney stones are unbearable. I haven’t had one before but I’ve seen the toughest men come to there knees trying to pass a stone!
I work at a doctor’s office and somebody came in that was trying to pass a kidney stone and he was literally rolling around on the ground. He didn’t care who was watching, he was in that much pain.
I have had kidney stones before so painful. I did know high protein diet can cause I think meat especially red meat is bad for you anyway. I didn’t know that having diabetes was in anyway related to getting kidney stones. That has never seemed to be a problem with anyone I know. I did know it effects the kidneys so I guess it makes sense.
Kidney disease can be a bad thing. Right now I have an aunt who had kidney disease and she has like fluid throughout her legs and arms. It’s painful at times and hard to watch her suffer because the doc says her body isn’t release urine normallly. I’ve never had kidney stones but have had UTI and trust me that is painful as well.
It is so sad that people have to go through dialysis. Its such a life interrupting thing. I really enjoyed these videos, I really learned a lot because I really didn’t know a whole lot about this
I know someone that just found out that he had a rare type of kidney disease, and seeing in this video what people go through with dialysis makes me feel even more sorry that he has to deal with that.
I’ve had a patient in clinicals that was in renal failure. There was so much to learn! Everything was so in depths and I learned many things from that patient. Renal patients get bad, quickly. It was crazy to see that some renal patients rarely urinate. It’s a very sad disease but it is very interesting when studying it.
I learned something new. I was not aware the relation between kidney stones and diabetes. I feel so bad for people who have to have dialysis it is very time consuming and tiring to them. I have had several patients in clinicals that have to have dialysis and it was very sad seeing them go through it. I was also not aware that eating meat was a cause for kidney stones. I have heard people talk about them and I pray I never have them they sound very painful.
These videos had a lot of information that I wasnt aware of. I guess I didnt realize that kidney stones could come from eating too much meat. I know a man that recently found out that he suffers from a rare kidney disease, and it breaks my heart to know what he has to go through with dialysis and all.
yes it is…as a matter of fact I looked up kidney stones last night, because I had a family member who had them and wanted to know how they occur and what caused them!
I know diabetes is bad, but I did not know that having diabetes could cause all of these other problems with your body! Every video that I’ve watched lately has been talking about how diabetes can effect certain parts of your body whether it be kidneys or cholesterol…Very informative!
I never knew that every one was in danger of getting kidney disease although it makes sense now that i think about it. It is terrifying to think that could be me one day.
These videos were very informative. Kidney disease is very scary because you only have two and if yours go out it is so hard to get another one from a donor and then will your body accept it.
I agree with you, are kidneys are very vital to us. When I was a kid I would get kidney infections and I was so scared they would not work when I got older and would have to go under surgery.
Kidney disease is nothing to play with it is a life or death situation. We need our kidney’s to filter liquids and get rid of waste. Without them we would be full of infection.
We need to keep our kidney’s healthy by eating and drinking healthy foods. Try not to take so many over the counter drugs and slow down on drinking so much milk so that there aren’t build ups of calcium deposits.
When I was a kid I would frequently get kidney infections. They were very painful and irratating. So I could not imagine going through the pain of a kidney stone or having kidney disease.
I didn’t realize that having diabetes could lead to a slew of other diseases. It seems like they fall in order also. Is this avoidable or inevitable I wonder?
It seems that most of the diseases we have talked about are linked to nutrition, so really if we just eat right then we shouldn’t have to worry as much about so many diseases.
I am glad that people have dialysis to help them, but it sounds so time consuming. I can’t imagine having to go three times a week, but you have to do what you have to do!
I was honestly shocked to know that kidney stones come from eating too much meat. I have had close family members on dialysis and have seen how it effects their body, how it makes them tired and their weight change. I thought it would be painful. This video taught me things I did not know about kidney disease, I didn’t know kidney stones was related to having diabetes.
These videos were very informative. I never knew that tea can cause kidney stones. I often wonder whats in the cranberry juice that keeps bacteria from adhereing to the walls of the kidneys.

It is good to know how many negative affects diabetes has
It is an eye opener to relize that ANYONE can get kidney disease. Any disease at all is scary. Thanks for the video, it brings alot to attention.
I had no idea just about anyone can get kidney disease either. so its good to know

I agree with you Americans eat way to much red meat. We don’t eat much either mostly deer and chicken.
I thought you get kidney stones from drinking to many sodas and not enough water.
that does contribute, but a big factor is the amount of calcium oxalate you take in from foods.
i was not aware that kidney stones were related to overeating. i knew it was related to certain drinks but not food.

I use to drink a LOT of mt. dew and it gets painful to urinate when I don’t drink enough water to help my kidneys. It’s amazing how the body works.
Water is all I drink now. I add a little lemon juice every now and then. It was hard to stop the sodas but it was really hard to stop drinking tea.

That was also a new fact for me as well!
my family has always been the meat and potatoes for dinner family. i have rarely eaten a meal with no meat, but im not afraid of trying somethin new.
It was interesting to know that magnesium and vitamin B6 help prevent kidney stones.
yes it is…as a matter of fact I looked up kidney stones last night, because I had a family member who had them and wanted to know how they occur and what caused them!
