Diet coaching for diabetes and kidney disease to delay dialysis
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a plant-focused diet plan to help people with diabetes and moderately to severely reduced kidney function avoid or delay needing dialysis. You would get diet instructions based on your random group and have several follow-up visits and check-ins over 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re an adult (over 18) who has diabetes and follows up as an outpatient at the study clinics
- You have diagnosed stage 3 to stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD)
- Your kidney function has been low: at least two test results (eGFR under 60) at least 3 months apart, with no later higher results in between
- You agree to follow the diet plan your group is assigned and attend visits at the start and at months 1, 3, and 6 (in person or by telehealth)
- You can do monthly (or more frequent) phone check-ins
- You do not have a life-threatening illness expected to cause death within 6 months

This pilot study tests whether a short-term diet can help people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). You would follow a special diet for one week to see how it affects your health.
This trial tests a low-protein diet (called PLADO) to help manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–5. It aims to slow kidney decline and improve nutrition. You may join if your kidney function is stable and your blood sugar and blood pressure are under control.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
This study looks at how diet affects the progression of chronic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have early to moderate kidney disease, this trial may help researchers understand how to slow kidney damage through nutrition.
This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
This study tests a new care approach for people with diabetes who have early-to-moderate kidney disease. The goal is to help prevent serious kidney and heart problems by improving how care is coordinated.
