Did you know that people with type 2 diabetes having chronic kidney disease are at an increased risk of hypoglycemia?
Our host, Dr. Ronald Goldenberg, takes a deeper look into this topic with Dr. Alice Cheng, an Endocrinologist at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga, and St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. She is also an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto and the current the Chair of the Professional Section of Diabetes Canada and Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal of Diabetes.
This episode discusses best practices on how to manage type 2 diabetes in those having renal impairment. Our experts take a deeper dive into talking points when communicating with such patient groups, as well as therapeutic considerations to lower the risk of hypoglycemia when choosing an appropriate basal insulin for those having kidney disease.
