Diabetes – Understanding the Renal and Cardiovascular Connection

Join Julianne and Kristin as they explore the important connections between diabetes and both renal and cardiovascular health. You will hear Julianne talk about the general pathophysiology that occurs in the microvasculature as a result of type 2 diabetes, the major herbal treatment aims to address this, as well as her favourite phytomedicines to support the vasculature. Kristin then discusses the impact of type 2 diabetes on the kidneys and explains the signs, symptoms, pathogenesis timeline and pathology markers that provide an insight into our patients’ kidney health, as well as a number of nephroprotective phytomedicines that we can utilise.
