All the muscles of our body are made by building blocks,amino acids,the basic unit of protein.Further Proteins stimulate the secretion of a digestive enzyme called as glucagon.Glucagon is very important to metabolize fats,and to satisfy hunger.The most important sources of proteins are necessary to supply in diet because there are certain essential amino acids in the diet,where their supply from outside source is very important for proper growth and nourishment of body tissues.These essential amino acids are found in following sources.                 

1.Meat....

Normally the filtration process of kidney is done by small capillaries within the kidney system.The organic waste and toxic  particles are too small to come in kidney system by the circulating system.There is protein,called as albumin and RBC within the kidney system.Their particle size is large and they live within the kidney system to detoxify the blood by making urine by nephron, a functional unit of kidney.                                                      But in a diabetic patient body produced more toxins than the normal, sufficient to impair detoxifying process.The kidney protein remains no longer effective.The system is damaged,capillaries leaked and albumin come out in urine.Another problem of diabetic is glucose, they cannot utilize body glucose effectively.This glucose directly damages the kidneys.The efficacy of the kidneys reduce considerabally.In initial phase of diabetes the damage is low and not felt by the patient but after 8 to 10 years, the damage is considerable and patient need dialysis.In this stage the urine enters the blood.Specially the feet swells due to more uric acid in body.Dialysis machines clean the blood from uric acid.Patient need dialysis repeatedly as the kidneys remain no longer effective.Another solution is kidney transplant by a donor,but the process is complicated and need a kidney donor.Further after dialysis patient need extensive care and lifestyle changes.So in order to prevent your kidneys, you need certain careful instructions..                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  PREVENTIONS.....                                                                                                                                                                                   1.Keep your blood sugar low and within the normal range.     


2.Keep your blood pressure low and within the range.High blood pressure in diabetic patient directly damage the kidneys.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                         3.Eat healthy diets, free from cholesterol.Diets full of fats  have more cholesterol to increase blood sugar and damage of  the kidneys.                                                                                                                                                                                                          4.have aerobic exercise almost 3 times in a week.                                                                                                                                       5.Keep your weight under control and remove extra weight.                                                                                                                   6. stop smoking as it  create more toxins in the body.                                                                                                                               7.Reduce the consumption of alcohol to avoid extra pressure on kidneys.                                                                                                                                                                                                   8.Reduce sodium intake in your diet ,avoid sodium chloride,salt.
