Joining forum seems a milestone.

Hello all (first post),
I must admit, I'll somewhat scared at posting and also reading/discovering about kidney problems. Joining the forum seems to be a psychological milestone, so my apologies for any apparent nervousness.
So far I know very little about the disease/remedies other than my GP has given me my analysis results, which are usually done 6 monthly due to diabetes, and says that I now need testing in 3 months time due to kidney problems.
Can I ask the forum if there is anything I should consider doing myself, such as taking sodium bicarbonate which seems to be talked about on the internet or indeed anything else I might do to possibly help myself.
Thank you for any info.
