Hello and thanks for your question. For diabetics the key thing to limit is carbohydrates. That means limiting sweets and starches like bread, pasta, potatoes and rice. It does not mean he can't eat them just that he needs to eat small portions. For kidney disease you want to limit protein. This means cutting down on meats and other sources of protein like nuts and eggs. He can eat fruits and vegetables and limited lean meats. He needs his doctor to check kidney and glucose tests regularly.
