Overview
Primary Prevention
Primary prevention of diabetic nephropathy is aimed at preventing diabetes in the first place. This is achieved through encouraging weight loss and exercise among the general population.[1][2][3][4] Currently, there is no sufficient evidence for the use of drugs, such as metformin, as means for primary prevention of diabetes.[1][5]
