Diabetes & kidneys: the quiet handshake
Picture a delicate handshake between blood sugar and the kidney’s filters. When glucose runs high, the grip turns rough, stressing tiny capillaries and inviting protein to slip through. Steadier numbers mean a steadier handshake. Build a simple toolkit: A1c goals set with your clinician, CGM or finger-stick logs you review weekly, balanced meals that favor fiber and lean proteins, regular movement, and medications taken exactly as directed. Quiet consistency protects the filter—and the whole system.
