Abstract

Aim: Diabetes is the most common cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and the target population in the dialysis clinics. An important question is why do so many diabetes patients develop ESRD and enter into dialysis? Our previous and other studies imply that over-enthusiastic use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blocking (ARB) drugs contribute to the high incidence of ESRD in diabetes. Thus our aim was to investigate if ESRD in diabetes is preventable by glycemic control with intensive insulin therapy but with exclusion of ACEI/ARB drugs.
