How is diabetic nephropathy treated?

Patient's question:

Carefully checked, I have had diabetes for a long time and have been taking medication to control blood sugar. Recently, I was carefully checked at the hospital and found some kidney deficiency. I don't know what to do now and would like to consult on how to treat diabetic kidney deficiency. I'm afraid taking medication will affect blood sugar, but without medication, I can't eat.

Doctor's answer:

If diabetic patients experience kidney deficiency again, they may develop symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. It is recommended to check kidney function simultaneously. If there is no significant abnormality in kidney function, it indicates that diabetic nephropathy has not occurred again. In this case, it is important to actively control blood sugar while also combining dietary management. Concurrent with these treatments, physical exercise should be increased to enhance physical fitness, and there is no need for separate oral medication.
