What are the risks of being diabetic?
Over time, diabetes melitus can cause the vessels to become narrow and clogged. Without enough blood, the kidneys become damaged and albumin (a type of protein) passes through these filters and ends up in the urine leading to detection of protein and sugar in the urine sample.
