Diet may slow progression of diabetic nephropathy
PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

A polyphenol-enriched diet with 50% carbohydrate restriction and low iron availability was superior to a conventional protein-restricted diet in slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

These findings must be confirmed by additional high-quality studies before physicians can routinely recommend a change from the conventional low-protein diet. Current use of this diet is limited, as many nutritionists— even those specializing in diabetes—have no knowledge of it.
