Diabetes, both types 1 and 2, comes with very serious complications, which could lead to amputations. It can also affect the eyes, heart and kidneys, which fail prematurely in four out of 10 people with diabetes.
It means there are 4.8 million people in the UK with diabetes who are four times more likely to need either dialysis or a kidney transplant.
But what if we could halt that deterioration of the diabetic kidney, head off kidney failure, and therefore the need for dialysis?
