Diabetes can damage the kidneys and cause them to fail. Failing kidneys lose their ability to filter out waste products, resulting in kidney disease. Kidney disease caused by diabetes is called Diabetic Nephropathy. As the time goes by, diabetic nephropathy will lead to kidney failure. Kidney failure can be divided into 5 stages. In kidney failure stage 5, what happens to your blood sugar?
People who have diabetes for some time can suffer from damage to the filters in the kidney. In the early stages, you can know you have kidney damage by finding more protein than usual in urine test result. At later stages, damages on filters and other parts of the kidneys can be worsened, and kidney function can be lost. Diabetes, your blood sugar or blood glucose, levels are high. Over this time, this can damage your kidneys. Also once kidney damage occurs, it will lead to high blood sugar level. That is to way, there is a close relationship between blood sugar and kidneys. With kidney failure, the key point is to bring high blood sugar under control.
What is the treatment for high blood sugar in stage 5 kidney failure?
Treatments include the following aspects:
1. Prevent or delay the disease progression to kidney failure.
As for stopping Diabetic Nephropathy progress, an effective way is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. This therapy helps stop or postpone progress of kidney disease. This is because the ingredients in this therapy can come to the damaged kidneys directly to help repair injured renal tissues and improve kidney function. In this way, kidney damage can be alleviated to some extent and also the kidney disease can be postponed or stopped.
2. Diet modification

With stage 5 kidney failure, blood sugar can be increased due to kidney damage. Also blood sugar and kidney disease affect each other. When you have kidney disease, blood sugar level is more likely to be elevated. When your blood sugar is high for a long time, it has tendency to cause kidney disease. Therefore, blood sugar level under control is very important.
