Scientists have now identified a previously hidden subtype of diabetic kidney disease marked by increased B-cell …

For many people living with type 2 diabetes, the biggest challenge is not finding an effective medication. It is being able to afford it.

Thanks to groundbreaking cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs), clinicians now understand that treating type 2 diabetes means protecting the heart, kidneys, and …

For years, the treatment of diabetic kidney disease focused primarily on glycemic control and blood pressure management. More recently, SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed the landscape by reducing kidney disease progression and cardiovascular events. However, another therapeutic class is rapidly gaining recognition. Non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) …

Blood pressure control remains one of the most powerful tools for reducing cardiovascular and kidney complications in people with diabetes. While clinicians have traditionally focused on achieving targets below 140/90 mmHg, recent evidence and the 2026 American Diabetes Association Standards of Care support a more intensive approach for selected high-risk …

Living with type 2 diabetes often means managing more than just blood glucose. For many patients, conditions like cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, or depression take center stage in their care plan. When diabetes isn’t the main problem, how do you keep glucose control on track without compromising treatment for …

Diabetic kidney disease is a serious complication of diabetes that can lead to end-stage kidney failure. It is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among individuals with diabetes. As such, it is critical to understand the diagnosis and management of diabetic kidney disease in order to ensure …

Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting millions of people worldwide. One of the most serious complications of diabetes is microvascular disease, which can cause damage to the small blood vessels in the body and lead to a range of serious health problems. To help prevent and manage microvascular complications, it …

Diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are two of the most common chronic illnesses in the world. Both can have serious consequences if left untreated, but proper management can help reduce the risk of further complications. This article will provide an overview of diabetes and CKD, discuss risk factors for …
