    He is a very little word doctor, but if you ask questions he will answer. He doesn't talk much and he will ask if you have questions or concerns. I guess I don't have a real issue to complain. He says I'm doing well and keep on exercising and eating properly with less salt. He's monitoring me for kidney failure and diabetes. He has changed me visit from 3 months to 6 months after my annual in January. He wasn't around for me to ask why. I got that paper when I was leaving.

    He doesn't talk about my meds or give any suggestions about my problems. I had to mention one of my meds that wasn't good for my kidneys for him to say if you can do without them don't take them. I stopped taking them for six months and don't need them. I quess I'll have to mention other meds and supplements for him to tell me whether I should or not take them. I don't think he really knows my meds or supplements. I asked about a sparkling water drink Iwas drinking. He just said he wouldn't drink it. He didn't say you shouldn't drink it, he wouldn't drink it. Because it had sucrose in it I stopped drinking it on my own. I wish he could be straight up and let me know what to do or not so I can better my chance of not having kidneys and diabetic trouble.
