Eating Healthy

Eat 2 hours before dialysis, but if you have diabetes, take a small cookie, snack for your blood sugar levels. You don’t want to have issues of low blood pressure, fainting, or fatigue. If you are diabetic and also have an appointment where you cannot eat 2 hours before, bring a small snack or have it with you so that you can eat it immediately after dialysis.

Dialysis. It is best to eat before or after dialysis as eating and drinking during dialysis can cause many problems. If you have diabetes, you may need to eat during dialysis. When food enters the stomach, blood rushes to the stomach and intestines for digestion.
