Approximately 1.3 million US adults were diagnosed with T1DM in 20161,2
More than one-fifth of individuals (125,000 to 200,000 patients in the US) with T1DM are expected to develop CKD, the leading cause of mortality in T1D CKD patients2
Hyperglycemia, high levels of sugar in the blood, initiates pathological pathways, including inflammation, that lead to structural changes in the kidney, such as glomerulosclerosis, which can progress to ESRD3
