National Diabetes Heart Connection Day is a reminder that protecting your heart is part of protecting your kidneys. High blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels and reduce the heart’s and kidneys’ ability to work together, increasing risk for both cardiovascular and kidney complications. Your care team at Innovative Renal Care Leominster Dialysis can help you make simple changes that strengthen both. Stay active in ways that feel good, keep up with lab checks, and talk openly about any new swelling, shortness of breath, or changes in energy. Every step you take for your heart, even small ones, also helps keep your dialysis care on track.
