Nutritional Management of Diabetic Patients Suffering From Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Diabetes is a persistent metabolic disorder characterized by heightened levels of blood glucose, also referred to as blood sugar. This condition gradually results in significant harm to several bodily systems, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The prevailing form of diabetes is type 2, typically observed in adults, wherein the body develops resistance to insulin or fails to produce adequate amounts of insulin. Over the course of the last three decades, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes across countries with varying income levels. Type 1 diabetes, formerly referred to as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a persistent medical condition characterized by insufficient endogenous insulin production in the pancreas. The availability of cost-effective therapy, particularly insulin, is of utmost importance for individuals who are affected by diabetes in order to ensure their continued existence. A universally accepted objective has been established to cease the escalation of diabetes and obesity by the year 2025. Diabetes affects around 422 million individuals globally, with a significant proportion residing in low- and middle-income nations. Moreover, an estimated 1.5 million deaths annually can be directly linked to diabetes. The incidence and prevalence of diabetes have exhibited a consistent upward trend in recent decades.
