A study of around 1,500 participants in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial found that diabetics have a higher chance of developing kidney disease compared to healthy people. People who have type-1 diabetes are not able to make insulin after their pancreatic cells are damaged even though it is supposed to be an autoimmune response.
It is most common in people with European descent and incidence is increasing about 3% a year. From 2000 to 2010, there would have been a 40% increase in new cases of type-1 diabetes.
The study shows that consuming more omega-3 fatty acids might help decrease kidney damage in type-1 diabetics without affecting the occurrence of the disease. Those who took the most eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) had the most improved kidney function for type-1 diabetics compared to those who took lower intakes of the fatty acids. Taking fish oils can also help to improve kidney health of diabetics.
