DOC Help Needed – Diabetes and Dialysis

From time to time we all get e-mails or comments from our blogs.  This is one that I received the other day and I really had no idea how to answer it.  I responded and asked if I had their permission to post the e-mail to my blog.  I am not going to include their name or e-mail address, but if you have any information, than please comment or e-mail me directly so I can put you in touch with them.

This is what the DOC is all about, so let’s help somebody out.

Thanks in advance.

 

Message body:

Both my brother and I are diabeatic. Howver, my brother lost the use of his kidneys and is on dyalsis three (3) per week.  It makes him sick for those three days.

The Endro is recommending (pushing) him to use the home dyalsis machine (I don’t know tghe correct term) that cleans the blood while he sleeps.

What do you know about this method?  Have you tried it?  Have your friends tried it?  Would you recommend.
