What is diabetes? Well, there are two kinds of diabetes: type 1 and type 2 diabetes mostly. And they’re interrelated but not similar, and that’s related to insulin.

Dr. Akshay Jain MD, FRCPC, FACE, CCD, ECNU, DABIM, DABOM, Clinical and Research Endocrinologist Cardiovascular protection with new diabetes medications

Diabetes is a condition that causes inflammation of blood vessels. This can be either the tiny blood vessels in the eyes, kidneys, or nerve endings are the bigger blood vessels that supply the heart in the brain, we use the term cardiovascular disease to denote heart attacks, strokes, cardiovascular dead peripheral arterial disease, heart failure or kidney failure.

Dr. Akshay Jain, MD, FRCPC, FACE, CCD, ECNU, DABIM, DABOM, Clinical and Research Endocrinologist, talks about how to protect the kidneys in patients with diabetes.

Let’s start by dispelling a common myth: metformin, which is the most commonly used diabetes medication, does not cause kidney damage. However, in patients with diabetes who develop kidney damage, we may need to decrease the dose of metformin, or stop it altogether, to prevent side effects occurring at that point of time.
