Overview
Once diabetic nephropathy develops, secondary prevention to halt the progression of the disease is aimed at strict control of blood pressure, blood glucose levels, as well as lipids.
Secondary Prevention
Once diabetic nephropathy develops, secondary prevention to halt the progression of the disease is aimed at:
- The benefits of tight control of blood glucose levels are uncertain per a systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration[1].
- Strict control of blood pressure, as well as lipids.[2]
- In order to reduce the risks of kidney, eye and blood vessel damage in the body. It is also very important to control lipid levels, maintain a healthy weight, and engage in regular physical activity.
