IN our previous article, Care for Your Kidneys (Fit For Life, July 17, 2005), we stressed the importance of good diabetes management to prevent diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy). We hope that you have taken the necessary steps that we have highlighted to protect your kidneys from damage.
