Blood Pressure Management in Diabetic Patients with Hypertension
The coexistence of diabetes and hypertension drives the cardio-kidney-metabolic system into a vicious cycle. Therefore, intensive blood pressure control (IBP) is crucial for diabetic patients complicated with hypertension.Studies have shown that diabetic patients with hypertension have a significantly higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared to normotensive diabetic individuals. These two conditions jointly accelerate the […]
Breaking Diagnostic Bottlenecks Through Multidimensional Clinical Interventions for CKM
In recent years, significant progress has been made in multidimensional clinical interventions for Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome. Professor Pan Qi from Beijing Hospital emphasizes that the core advancement lies in breaking the limitations of single-disease treatment, integrating novel medications, technological tools, and multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve a paradigm shift from disease control to systemic protection.First, regarding […]
How Does CKM Achieve the Stepwise Goals of Prevention, Delay, and Reversal?
Professor Pan Qi from Beijing Hospital proposes establishing a three-tier screening network for early identification of Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome.First, implement a risk-stratified screening strategy with life-cycle monitoring: children undergo annual blood pressure checks starting at age 3; overweight/obese children receive fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) testing every six months.Second, regarding […]
Reconstructing Chronic Disease Management Models: The Integrated CKM Management Concept and Implementation Pathways
Amid the rapid advancement of modern medicine, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders have emerged as major global health challenges. These conditions do not exist in isolation; instead, they are interrelated and interactive, forming a complex disease spectrum known as the Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome (CKM). Traditional single-disease management models are no longer sufficient to meet […]

B vitamins can prevent and alleviate diabetic […]
The Subtle Link Between Diabetes and Pain
Diabetes itself does not directly cause pain, but complications resulting from long-term poor blood glucose control can trigger various painful symptoms.Diabetes-related pain is mainly associated with nerve damage, vascular disease, acute complications, or infection, and specific manifestations vary among individuals.
Can Diabetics Eat Seafood?
Diabetic patients can generally eat seafood in moderation, but they need to pay attention to cooking methods and portion sizes.Seafood is rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and various minerals, which are helpful for blood glucose control. However, some high-cholesterol seafood should be chosen carefully.The high-quality protein in seafood helps maintain muscle mass, delays […]
How is Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy Treated?
Diabetic autonomic neuropathy can be managed through blood glucose control, medication, lifestyle modifications, and other interventions. Management of diabetic autonomic neuropathy is a long-term process.Patients should maintain close communication with their medical team, attend regular follow‑ups, and adjust the treatment plan according to changes in their condition.
