Do I have a greater chance of getting kidney disease?

Molly asked:
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 4 years now and I recently found out that my grandma’s brother had kidney disease from having type 2 diabetes.
Does this mean I have a greater chance of developing it?
Thanks.

Molly, yes you, like anyone else with diabetes (no matter the type) is at an increased risk of developing diabetes related kidney disease, known as nephropathy.
Having said that, though, there are many things that you can do to prevent it. Including taking your insulin and monitoring your BGLs everyday, as well as regular blood tests, including your HbA1c. When you get your HbA1c done, your doctor should also be taking blood tests known as UECs which are a marker of kidney function. You should also be regularly providing urine samples to your doc to check for microalbuminuria, which checks for tiny amounts of protein in the urine which, if positive may indicate the beginning of kidney problems. So, if you’re having these tests regularly any problems can be picked up early and treatment can be provided to slow down the progression.
It is more commonly found in people with long term diabetes, but prevention is better than cure, so be sure to keep regular contact with your endocrinologist.
