Diabetic nephropathy needs attention to what matters

Patient's question:

What should be paid attention to in diabetic nephropathy

Doctor's answer:

Diabetic kidney disease patients should pay attention to the following:
1. Appropriately limit potassium and protein intake.
2. Pay attention to consuming sufficient vitamins and trace elements. For diabetic kidney disease patients, a healthy diet primarily focuses on Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and nutrients such as zinc, calcium, and iron, which can help protect the kidneys.
3. Blood sugar levels need to be well-controlled. If diabetic kidney disease patients do not pay attention to dietary management, it may lead to sustained blood sugar elevation, thereby triggering metabolic disorders of fat and cholesterol.
