What Risk Of Kidney Disease Is There With Diabetes?

By Owen Jones


There is a fairly popular misapprehension that diabetics will suffer from kidney infection. This used to be true decades ago before there was any real awareness of the whys and wherefores of diabetes. Nowadays, the threat of kidney disease is still there, but it is absolutely not unavoidable.

Those who take care of their blood sugar level by eating the correct foods and exercising, run very little danger of kidney disease at all.

And that is without the help and medication that doctors may prescribe. All in all, if a diabetic gets kidney disease, it is because of inattention to his or her health.

There are different sorts of kidney disease, but in general, kidney disease results in the body not being able to dispose of its waste products.

Urine is not only the excess of water that you drink, it is also the body's means of passing out toxins and waste that your muscles create by doing their daily job.

If these toxins remain in your body, you will poison yourself. There is nothing you can do about that. Merely by living, you create toxins that your body flushes out with bodily fluids which are made up of usually water, which is why it is vital to drink lots of water every day. Your kidneys treat this water and send it to your bladder.

If that system does not work, you are in serious trouble, unless you get treatment. This is not a new condition and doctors are very practiced at treating it, so it is no longer life-threatening - as long as you have it treated. However, kidney disease is still obviously something to avoid at all costs.

A further difficulty is if the kidneys give up working because they cannot deal with the impurities that are passing through them. They literally become worn out and tired to death.

Dialysis might become crucial or a kidney transplant. This is of course a very significant state of affairs and one to be avoided at all costs.

If you have had a warning that you may become diabetic, be certain to heed that warning and lower your weight as a priority. Do this by eating food prepared with the needs of diabetics in mind and exercise every day.

Best of all is to take action before you get the warning from your GP.

You know whether you are flabby or not. You know whether you are taking care of your body or not and you know whether you are at risk or not.

Most people do not have to be told, they know, but will not admit it to themselves.

Do not be one of those. Do not permit this to occur to you. Take action now. Of your own free will, before you have to.
