What Risk Of Kidney Disease Is There With Diabetes?

By Owen Jones


There is a fairly common misconception that diabetics will suffer from kidney infection. This used to be the case decades ago before there was any real understanding of the whys and wherefores of diabetes. Nowadays, the threat of kidney infection is still there, but it is certainly 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 drugs that doctors offer. All in all, if a diabetic gets kidney disease, it is because of inattentiveness to his or her health.

There are different kinds of kidney disease, but in general, kidney disease results in the body not being able to dispose of bodily 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 make toxins that your body flushes out with bodily fluids which are made up of usually water, which is why it is very important to drink lots of water each day. Your kidneys treat this water and send it to your bladder.

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

A further problem is if the kidneys stop working because they cannot deal with the impurities that are passing through them. They literally get worn out and tired to death.

Dialysis may be vital or a kidney transplant. This is obviously a very serious state of affairs and one to be prevented at all costs.

If you have had a warning that you might be diabetic, be certain to heed that warning and reduce your weight as a priority. Do this by eating food made with the requirements of diabetics in mind and exercise each day.

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

You know whether you are overweight 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 become one of those. Do not permit this to occur to you. Take action now. Of your own free will, before you have to.
