    I have type 2 diabetes and my doctor stresses kidney protection every visit. 🍬 What are the most important things to do to keep kidneys healthy?

    Diabetes kidney protection

    Priority actions

    Action Why it helps
    Control blood sugar 🎯 High sugar damages kidney filters
    Manage blood pressure 📉 Reduces pressure on kidneys
    Check urine albumin yearly Catches early damage
    Healthy weight and activity 🏃 Improves overall metabolic health

    I also focus on

    • Not skipping prescribed medications
    • Limiting processed and salty foods
    • Getting annual lab panels done

    How do you manage diabetes with kidney health in mind? 🤗
