In this video we look at, can chronic kidney disease supplements help with type 2 diabetes?
Did you know that around 40 percent of people with diabetes, go on to develop chronic kidney disease?
No? Well, it’s one of the most common, and most serious consequences of type 2 diabetes.
Obviously, this is a nasty cycle that needs breaking, to avoid any serious fatal secondary diseases related to diabetes.
Previously, it was thought there were a number of supplements, that could help prevent kidney disease in diabetes sufferers, but a new study published in the Journal JAMA has just debunked this.
Kidney disease is serious. It means that your kidneys can no longer properly remove waste, and fluid from your body. The consequent buildup of waste is toxic.
Many previous studies have shown that vitamin D, and fish oil supplements have anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, and other properties, that may prevent the occurrence of kidney disease in diabetes sufferers, and researchers were keen to find out whether this was true or not.
They recruited 1,312 patients with type 2 diabetes, who had no obvious cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, or cancer. The researchers followed them for five years, testing their blood, and urine before the study to establish their glomerular filtration rate.
The participants were divided into four groups: one received real vitamin D and fish oil supplements, one received fake vitamin D and fish oil supplements, one received a real vitamin D but a fake fish oil supplement, and one that received a real fish oil but a fake vitamin D supplement.
They found an average decline in kidney function, of around 12-15 percent over the five years, and this did not differ between the four groups.
Therefore, these two supplements cannot help to preserve kidney function, in people with type 2 diabetes.
That’s not to say that Vitamin-D and Omega-3 is not helpful, for other complications of type 2 diabetes. They’re just no good for kidney disease.
