Hello sir and thank you for posting your query here.. I'm here to help you out..
Welcome to HCM..

I being a surgeon, we encounter so many such cases..
I read your question completely and have understood it well enough..

Frankly speaking, he can continue his normal diet as he's taking all these days..

Please note the following few facts..

1. 4cm mass in left kidney needs treatment.
Hope you are well aware of this thing. It needs surgery. May be in the form of partial nephrectomy or total nephrectomy.
Yes. Please do not neglect or delay this..

2. Sorry to know that he's diabetic too..
But do not worry, he can continue his normal diet taking care of his diabetic status.

3. There should be no diet restrictions as of now. But again, his diabetic status has to be considered.

Hope this helps you, please let me know if you have any questions.
Take care of your dad. And God bless..
