Carlos

Age: 80 years

Length of Treatment: 5 years

Country: Ecuador

MY CKD: 

My CKD was detected by chance after my heart attack. The doctors discovered the renal failure after several medical tests at the hospital. I live with my condition under one philosophy: to be devoted to my wife and my family, I dedicate myself only to them. I am grateful to my wife since I have been lucky enough to have her and she is an example for my children. I thank God for them!

MY DIET:

I have always had a sweet tooth and loved sweets and meat. In my life I have enjoyed to eat well and to pamper myself with those little treats. However, with this disease I had to stop eating meat and many of those sweets and treats. That is when I realized that by not eating much protein, I feel lighter and I can move better. 

MY LIFE:

I like to have well organized days. I also like music and I love Ecuadorian music specifically. So, I listen and sing Ecuadorians songs all day. 

MY SUPPORT:

My whole life has changed for the better. It has been 2 years now and my diet has improved remarkably, and I have not ended up in a hospital by the way. Of course, with the help of my treatment..... We are very grateful for the support we had in the KetoCare centers in Ecuador.
