  If you are an adult with T1D, do you take medication to improve your kidney function? (ACE inhibitor)
  Yes! Decades ago, my endo recommended a 'pril' (ACE Inhibitor), a statin and low dose aspirin to help prevent T1D complications. He read a study that showed the cardiac meds prevented complications by over 90% (if I recall... that's been a long time ago). After 56 years of brittle T1D, I have no T1D complications and healthy kidneys.

  Started with ACE, it caused dry cough. Switched to ARB instead.

  I am not able to take Ace-Inhibitors or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers because I have a severe allergy to them. I get severe bronchospasms. I asked a specialist about this and I was told I lack the gene that would allow me to take it. People have no idea about how having special genes or lack of genes affect us.

  I am on an ACE inhibitor, but protecting kidney function was not the main reason for me to take it. I have mildly high blood pressure but I do realize that that condition could fry my kidneys, too, and the ACE inhibitor would help. So, I am protecting my kidneys as a side effect.

  I take an ARB, and it is also protective of kidneys.

  Cozaar was originally prescribed in 1993 as a preventive measure concerning a slightly elevated protein clearance at the time. That drug has been taken off the market and caused incessant coughing. Valsartan is now taken for blood pressure. Kidney function and protein clearance are well within normal range. 💪🏼

  I was prescribed a 20mg dose of an ACE inhibitor in 1986 to protect my kidney function. It was later increased to 40 mg daily because of high blood pressure. Three years ago I was dx with chronic kidney disease that my endo thinks began in 1970 when I had preeclampsia while pregnant with my daughter. I'm still taking the 40mg dose of the same ACE inhibitor with the addition of a 5mg Beta Blocker that was added 15 years ago because of high blood pressure.

  I am good about taking Vit D and Biotin (because, hair growth!)...but there are others that sit in the drawer, ignored and forgotten! I should be taking my multi and turmeric more consistently.
