Diabetes and Kidney Health
Diabetes and Kidney Health
Diabetes happens when your blood sugar (glucose) stays too high. Over time, high blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys. This makes it harder for your kidneys to filter waste properly, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Why it matters:
Diabetes is the number one cause of CKD and kidney failure.
Kidney damage from diabetes often happens slowly and silently.
Early care can protect your kidneys and overall health.
Signs and symptoms (may appear later):
Foamy urine (from protein loss)
Swelling in feet, ankles, or hands
Tiredness or weakness
More frequent need to urinate
What you can do:
Check and control your blood sugar regularly.
Take medications or insulin exactly as prescribed.
Eat a balanced diet with limited sugar and salt.
- Stay active and keep a healthy weight.
- Have regular kidney check-ups (blood and urine tests).
