If you are currently pre-diabetic or diabetic, it is very important to be aware of your current kidney health and take steps to stop all further damage.

Kidneys have few repair mechanisms to fix damage, although early diet change has been shown to fully recover such damage.

Well, I’m sure that the same things that give you diabetes also cause other bad things. Cut out the excess carbs and sugars and I’ll bet that for vast numbers of folks, a lot of the rest will be alleviated to a great extent.

Hasn’t this been known for decades?

I am not reading whether this is type 1 or 2. They are totally different diseases. Type two is easy, stop eating carbs. Type one is to lower your carbs as much as possible and use less insulin.

This is not new news.

Diabetes causes kidney failure and early kidney failure causes high blood pressure which contributes to kidney failure. Taking an ace1 or ace2 blood pressure medicines slow down the development.

25 years ago we screened our diabetics by checking for small amounts of protein in the urine and if present kept their bp low.

Diet is the main treatment of diabetes of course

Something that shocked me to find out:
91.2% of diabetes cases are type 2 diabetes cases and 5.6 percent of diabetes cases are type 1 diabetes.

This is why Dr. Jason Fung, nephrologist, wrote his terrific, enlightening book ‘The Obesity Code’. He got sick & tired of putting progressively deteriorating patients (most Type 2) on dialysis. Symptoms were being treated with insulin, etc. - root cause was not.

Type 2 does not have to be chronic & progressive if the root cause is targeted .... it’s what you put in your mouth (sugar, processed food, vegetable seed oils) that run your blood sugar up, then it has to be knocked down with ever increasing amounts of insulin over time. Remission/reversal & getting off insulin & most other meds that go along with Diabetes (BP, statins) is possible. Resources have started to become more available as doctors who have seen the light are breaking through the old “standards of care” they are taught in med school that don’t work & make patients sicker & sicker.

It is also important to take an ordinary daily dose of Vitamin B-1 (thiamine) (300mg). Diabetics tend to urinate more, and lose albumin in the process, which leads to kidney disease. B-1 helps replenish the albumin.
