SUPPLEMENT TO:
Diabetes is a progressive disease associated with micro- and macrovascular complications. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the leading contributor to chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide, which itself is associated with an increased burden of cardiovascular disease, increased risk of hypoglycemia, and increased risk of death beyond that caused by diabetes alone. In a series of short videos now available on The Journal of Family Practice website, the authors discuss how CKD in people with T2D is defined, potential consequences of CKD in this patient population, and how those with CKD and T2D should be identified, monitored, and treated.
