\n 5\/5 - (1 vote) <\/div>\n <\/div>\nDiabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease. Over time, high blood sugar can damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys, affecting their ability to filter waste from the blood.\r\n

\r\nKidney damage often develops gradually without noticeable symptoms. However, managing diabetes and following healthy habits can help reduce the risk.\r\n

\r\nUnderstanding how to protect your kidneys is an important part of long-term diabetes care.\r\n

\r\nDiabetes-related kidney damage is known as Diabetic Kidney Disease<\/strong> or diabetic nephropathy.\r\n

\r\nWithout proper management, the condition can progress to chronic kidney disease and, in severe cases, kidney failure.\r\n

\r\n\r\n2. Keep Blood Pressure Under Control<\/strong>
\r\n\r\nHigh blood pressure can increase kidney damage in people with diabetes.
\r\n\r\nMonitor blood pressure regularly, reduce excess salt intake, and take prescribed medicines consistently.
