Credentials:

Daughter was on dialysis in year 2000 (transplant now).  I helped head-up a group that got a bill through the Colorado Statehouse for the certification of Kidney Dialysis technicians back in 2007 (renewed in 2012 and 2019).  2007 was about a year and half before the Feds came out with their less strict tech regulations.

Bonus: Raiding the Supply Train to Kidney Dialysis
Wife has been dealing with type 2 diabetes for 30+ years and was experiencing retinopathy and neuropathy in her feet.  She turned things around with a low carb diet - now even an option the American Diabetes Association recognizes! (should be the ADA standard diet in this writer's opinion) Her journey and the people we listen to anymore are in this message board thread.  Diabetes has been recognized as one major cause of kidney disease.  (UPDATE: After 2 1/2 years getting a 'Continuous Glucose Monitor' has been another game-changer!  She has been able to time her nph insulin better and she is finding some meals aren't as low carb as hoped for.  Here is a post on Reddit about one improvement with the cgm, put up by this writer)
