The systems and organs in our bodies are interconnected, which is why chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, CKD, cardiovascular disease and obesity may often coexist1-4. In the last episode of our animated series on type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, we dive into what your care plan might look like to tackle your CKD and improve your overall wellbeing.
If you catch CKD early, you can slow down and even prevent its progression to more severe stages of the disease5.
As early signs of CKD can go unnoticed, if you have type 2 diabetes, it is important to be aware that other chronic diseases can increase your risk of developing CKD6,7.
Modern guidelines promote a comprehensive approach to care, rather than treating each disease separately8,9.
Improving your kidney health involves taking care of your entire body. A comprehensive care plan will focus on aspects of your health beyond type 2 diabetes, aiming to protect your kidneys, preserve the health of your heart and blood vessels, and manage a healthy weight9,10. This will help maintain your body's internal balance, allowing you to feel your best.
Reach out to a healthcare professional to learn more about what can be done if you have type 2 diabetes, to help reduce your risk of CKD, identify ways to slow disease progression and prevent additional health problems.
