Hello! I have juvenile diabetes for some time. My doctor does not suspect on diabetic nephropathy, but I asked him to check this for any case. My grandmother had diabetes which caused diabetic nephropathy, so, I want to do tests on time. Can you tell me which tests I will do? I am thanking you in advance!

Hello! First of all, you will need to do microalbuminuria test. This test will discovered have you proteins in your urine. After this test, you will need to do creatinine test. I can tell you that you will need to do creatinine test once a year. Also, you will need to control very often blood pressure, cholesterol level and triglyceride level.
